BOOM!

They're Off!

 

 

Small Tugs

 

The top three finishers, all past winners, roared out of the gate, with RELIABLE jumping onto the early lead (seen here with SKILLFUL and THISTLE DEW).

Grabbing the second position and staying there was the restored JOE, a long-time favorite. Olympia's own CEDAR KING,another past winner, had to settle for 4th place this year after newcomer ANYSSA JANE came from behind.  

 

Olympia's CEDAR KING churns the water, while the tiny SKILLFUL battles to keep up. Even while digging a hole, she still beat three other boats. Perennial favorite, JOE cruised to second place after the battle with RELIABLE was settled.
