Day 2 Busy Day Raft Race

The Corwall 2010 girls got a seat on the edge of the Banjo Pier walkway and waited for the Raft Race to begin

The race started and the rafts raced from the beach, around the Banjo Pier and down the river.
There was a big crowd cheering them on...

The winning raft was built from blue oil barrels and they were a long way ahead of the losers

This raft came in second but it did have the largest crew and they were from Looe Lifeboat station so ought to be good on water

This raft had seats attached and they definately looked the best - although not the fastest

This raft was almost last and in danger of sinking!

This boat came in last of all....going very slowly to cheers from the crowd ( it got stuck at the beach and had to be pushed by willing children to get going at all - the aptly named Yellow Submarine!

All the rafts were followed by the Lifeboat Crew up the river
