Earlier this month, my brother-in-law Jim and the family took part in a cardboard boat race. Nothing but cardboard and duct tape. He made his boat in the shape of a rocking horse. They won Pride of the Regatta!
here's the news story with a picture of Jim in his boat. He and the kids dressed up as pirates
