Rain gutter Regatta





This past March, Jayden competed in a Rain-gutter Regatta with his fellow cub scout pack at church.  This was a whole new experience for the Asay family, whom specializes in pine wood derby car races.  We had no idea how to make a fast boat!  So about a week before the race, Jayden and Jarrad worked hard on the sail boat and did a great job.


It was definitely a learning experience for both Dad and Jayden.  As you can see in the pictures, they had actual rain gutters filled with water and you had to blow your boat down the gutter with a straw.  It doesn't seem to complicated, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to tip over your boat.  Jayden caught on toward the end and had a fun time.  We'll be better prepared next time!
