AP: Boys Survive Hurricane Swell on Yard Trash

























This summer, The Florida Yacht Club hosted an Anything Goes regatta. The ONLY Rule: Make your own boat. So, living on the westside (AKA the Redneck Riviera), Johnny and Jimmy decided to make a boat out of whatever was layin' around the yard. This is what they found: a pallet, a few 5 gallon water jugs (full), some paddles, an antenna, duct tape, a refrigerator box, spray paint, an old sheet, & some wood. Low and behold! It just might float! (the jugs, if you pour the water out) and it has a motor! (the paddles) Lots of duct tape and spray paint did the rest. Watch your bootie Jack Sparrow! These guys will be the stars of Pirates IV!
They didnt win the race, but they did win the MOST CREATIVE trophy!, and they stayed afloat the longest. But, most importantly, it only took the boys 30 minutes to make their boat out of our regular yard debris. And there's plenty more where that came from. So, IF JAX IS HIT BY A HURRICANE, come to our house and you'll be safe!
