| - | Any feedback??? I like the relay idea, three times around lake Padden (approx 6 miles) for a canoe, an Oc, and a Surfski, for a total of 18 miles....you could switch any leg, i.e. surfski goes twice an oc goes once, a canoe team goes three then back to the surfski and oc. What ever stratgey works....first team to 18 miles with each boat doing three laps would win....entry would be five or ten dollars worth on non-perishable groceries! | + | Any feedback???
