Big Red and True Blue

By this time Big Red and True Blue had just about seen it all. They’d been up to the ITBR on the Detroit River.

They’d been to Manhattan’s Pier 84.

They’d been out to the spring Maritime Festival in Seattle. This time they were takin it easy and letting someone else do the driving.

But that got pretty boring pretty quick, so BR and TB decided to go mano-et-mano in the pool.

So they headed for the cabin door

After the races, Big Red and True blue got the wash-and-wax treatment, a little touch up paint, and headed for the faculty lounge for some shenanigans.

First a few hands of Texas hold-um.

One thought on “Big Red and True Blue

  1. A delightful documentary detailing a race of historic proportions! BR and TB made great time, especially considering the turbulent waters through which they had to navigate.
    Moreover, the pre and post race coverage rounds out the story nicely. There should be a movie deal coming down the pipe for this story. 🙂
