Making and racing sailing boats and for an afternoon of camping fun

I grew up with two feet firmly on the ground and I don't expect to grow sea legs in a hurry so what do you do when you go camping with a sailing freak?

You make and race sailboats. Small ones.

This turned out to be a great afternoon of camping activity for the kids and adults. We formed teams and used plastic bags etc for the sails, sticks and some old bamboo for the boats and tape and cable ties to stick the whole lot together.

As you can see some went better than others. Suspicious that the sailing freak's went the fastest - he must have sabotaged our boats...
