I think the Canoe Race is a super addition to the Lobsterfest Weekend. Great idea!
I remember as kids when we had a race where we sit in our mothers round metal wash basin in the open sea and try to get to a finishing line. It was hysterical as we would end up going in circles most of the time or sinking.

I really wish that I could be there for the Lobsterfest weekend but I'm up here in L.A. for another 10 days and having a really good time hanging out with RasSkip. Did Venice beach yesterday (bunch of locos...)and should be going to the "House of Blues" up on Sunset sometime in the next few days.

Please can someone take pictures so I can use in the next paper slated for end of July.
