We had no idea what we were missing.
That boat out there is made of cardboard
Foster the Boat
This Cardboard Boat Regatta thing was amazing. People make enormous floating vessels out of nothing but cardboard, duct tape, and paint. These boats hold anywhere from 3 to 8 people, from what we can tell. Some are pretty simple, just boxes covered in tape, but others are elaborate, like the dragon boat that we saw. Considering that we arrived at the very end of the event, and considering how impressed we were with the what we saw, I can't even imagine what we missed during the first 1.75 hours.

The General Sea - One of the more impressive boats we saw |
The Titanic
There were food stands and vendors everywhere, and nearby restaurants were selling beer right out in the streets. People were really into it, and we agree that it seemed like a great time. It was scorching hot so it worked out well that we were only there for a short time, but we're now believers - the Watkins Glen Cardboard Boat Regatta is worth checking out.
