More about the Independence Day gathering - 2

There were a few different activities going on that made the day special. Sand Art - Fish Pond - DJ on the beach - Water balloon challenge to name a few. One of the traditional competitions of the day is the blind rowers race. The rower is blindfolded while directions through the course come from a co-pilot. The winners received a gift certificate to a local ice cream shop. The results are:
Up to 17 age group - 7 boats competed  - winners Brady and Bryant with a time of 1:27.03 mins.
Ages 18 - 44 - 4 boats competed - winners Eric and Greg - time 1:0.77 mins.
45+ age group - 5 boats competed - winners Pam and Nancy - time 1:31.96 mins.

I missed getting the pictures of the winners but I did get Alyssa and Betty (who happened to take the longest time of any of the competitors 10:47.27 mins.) Alyssa, who does very well in an auto, found steering a row boat a bit more difficult. She removed the blindfold and, nonetheless, ended up among the swimmers.

 Oh NO! No boats with the swimmers!
