| It was another wonderful,
wet, wacky and wild Schooner Wharf Minimal Regatta on Sunday, May
25th. The entries were as clever, imaginative and creative as they
were diverse! We had participants, on the �Salty Surprise� with a
support team of 23 all the way from Cape Coral, Florida. Crowd
favorites, Cat Brewster, a 10 year old �Can Do� dynamo and Katie
Leigh, who is 8 � months pregnant on �The Mother Ship.� were a big
hit. The �WWF Danger Charters Team� brought in a fleet of 5 vessels
(some built that morning!) complete with costumes and WWF antics to
all our amusement. Gillian & crew showed up on the �S.S. Minnow,� and
USCG Captain Toro won the Most Creative Award with his Spanish Galleon
design, complete with sails, a maiden walking the plank, cannons and a
shark! |

Regatta |
The VFW and
the Key West Parrothead Club, who also had a colorful entry the
�Phloating Phlockers,� raised funds by selling poppies, Minimal
Regatta and VFW tee shirts. They also held a 50/50 raffle, and the
entry fees for participating vessels proceeds went to VFW Post 3911.
Their cause this year was Key West housing for veterans and the VFW
hospital in Miami.
