bkfrogma: Team Shark Shark Shark! They're not gonna beat the competition, they're gonna EAT the competition!

bkfrogma: Late arrival, rowed in from elsewhere...
©
bkfrogma: Holy cow. First canoe team came in so fast I didn't have time to get across the bridge to catch them coming up the canal, had to settle for this.
©
bkfrogma: Race for 3rd (2nd place went by without me getting a good shot) - much closer race here!
©
bkfrogma: Go Team Dolphin Spirits!
©
bkfrogma: Didn't catch this team name, but a good strong 4th.

bkfrogma: Owen, head of the Dredgers, and paddling partner (and extremely large tree frog).

bkfrogma: And as the canoes are finishing, the All Others race has begun
©
bkfrogma: Interference!
©
bkfrogma: Not sure whether it's the sharks or Dolphin Rising playing dirty here -
©
bkfrogma: Dolphin Rising scrapes those pesky sharks off on some pilings (legit race technique)
©
bkfrogma: Sharks manuever their very long kayak around the piling, losing precious seconds -

bkfrogma: Here comes the rest of the pack -

bkfrogma: Canoes still coming in
