The highlight of Refugio this year was the cardboard boat race. Competitors were allowed to use ONLY cardboard and duct tape to create a racing boat. Some (ahem, Dad) thought they could get away with wrapping cardboard around an inflatable raft and calling it a day. =) All the boats looked great getting in the water and everyone had a great time. In the end, Jake won with the Silver Bullet, second place went to Kevin rowing for Team Sullivan and third went to Herm rowing Shark Tooth. Jace came in first for the kids piloting the boat for Team Jensen-Ugalde-Turner.

Afterward, the ladies took the boats out again to race. Sarah won first place, Molly won second and Marcia won for the grandma category. See that race here.
