Not Quite a World Record, But Fun Nonetheless!

The Flotilla was even attended by pirates.

Suttons Bay did not break the Guiness World Record for the largest floating raft of kayaks and canoes. The record still stands at 1902 and we hit 1750. Read more here. Close . . . and I think we are going to try again next year. Here are a slew of miscellaneous shots of the event. And it was truly, "an event." Check out the time elapsed vid by our very own and very talented photographer, Ken Scott. I've been a huge fan of his for years.

Hopefully, next year I'll be posting again, but it will be on breaking a record!

Some of the portage crew.

Kinda like a reverse, aquatic Abby Road shot.

"Is this my kayak??"

Inland Seas participated.

Michele and I never understood the "green man."

There was fun for all.

Yep, he is standing...

Now that's just good preparation (the umbrella). And, who could forget their . . . top hat?

Beach ball, anyone?

The attempt.

Gosh, that's "close."

It was a gorgeous day.
