This was a first time that I have ever had seen a Rain Gutter Regatta. Karl didn't do one when he was in cub scouts. We are not real experts when it comes to making these kits that they give out to these boys(the pinewood derby cars are even worst). Matthew even put his rutter on upside down. I think that Erik had fun making it and loved his idea with the stickers. Erik named is boat, "The Ghost Ship". I didn't realize until I got there that the boys have to blow their boats down a rain gutter. I thought that it was like the pinewood derby race that they put it on track and let it just fall down. So it was neat to watch these kids racing these boats, blowing them as hard as they could without having them topple over. 
He was happy he won his race. He didn't win on time but I think he had fun (See his face above). Erik got 3rd out of 12 cars in pinewood derby race a couple a months ago...so maybe we are getting better making these kits hopefully we will have down when Kjell becomes a cub scout.
