Whoops, Woman Overboard!

November 10, 2018

One of this year’s contestants falls off her “unboat” in WHOI’s Anything-But-A-Boat Race – community event in Woods Hole, Mass., that attracted hundreds of spectators on Sept. 16. Race rules stipulate that “unboats” must be without boat shells, surf boards, or other commercially available boats or power sources. The contestants from local organizations and individuals come up with whimisical names for their “unboats” like Warrior Princess and Kitsch ’n Sink. This entry, called The Lady Station, was from Bear in Boots Gastropub on Main Street, Falmouth. The team stuck it out to make it back to shore after completing half the course.
