Raingutter Regatta

Ace competed in the raingutter regatta with his gorgeous  ship. Ace also walked away
 with a first place medal. He couldn't stop beaming! In his first heat Ace was
severally ahead  of the other ship, when a mummer went out amongst the crowd,
"Ace's ship used its cannon balls!!"
Sadly, his ship was often referred to as a pirate ship
 ( it is meant to bring to mind the early explorers).
 I guess we missed the mark on that one. Here are some detail shots of the beaut!

I love the billowing sail

and the flag frozen in midbreeze

The "planks" were a fantastic touch!

The lines are another great detail

As if all of that weren't enough Ace  came home with several awards, he has been working his little fingers to the bone! He lost 2 awards during the night (perhaps someone will bring them next week) they have been  found  , but wowie look all that boy has done! His  total for the night was right around 25 awards!   Way to go Ace...earning your nickname once again!    *It is important to note  that he LOVES bacon
