DUCK BOAT Quack Mire!...is finished and prepared for Friday's race.

After several weeks of scraping, sanding, filling and painting, Quack Mire is finally in the water to swell any planks that might have let water seep into the bilge. She was very dry after three hours and we don't expect her to get any worse, just better.

We have enlisted a young Sailor by the name of Tyler who will sail her to victory or, at least,  to the finish line. Tomorrow night is the pre race judging and party to kick off the Duck Boat Worlds, then Friday, weather permitting is the Duck Boat Worlds, a cheerful and fun time on the water including some very competitive sailing tactics.

Marie Darling and I put in many long hours getting this boat ready to help The Friends Of Belmar Harbor. a club that offers many sailing activities for youngsters. We are hoping that Quack Mire qualifies for a charitable contribution from the Duck Boat foundation, any contribution would be turned over to Friends Of Belmar Bay.

Here are some pictures of our entry Quack Mire:

Marie, the touch up Queen

Red, White and Blue

Ugly Duckling, NOT!

That's me, I'm done.

Proud to be involved

 

Happy it's done

What's better than a boat that floats?...A boat that does not leak.

Quack Mire, in all her glory!

Waiting for the soak.
