Getting Ready for the Raft races.
Over the past two weekends the 53rd Explorers and

locations with smaller numbers. All four meetings ran
the same program with the main theme building rafts for
the annual raft race between our Explorers and the
Wannabee Explorers. The raft race will be on Saturday
4th July at the 27th Sea Scout Hut. The 27th Explorers
and Wannabees will also be building rafts and joining in
the races. Out of the four rafts built by the 53rd Explorers
the best built goes to the Wannabees who win a 10sec
advantage in the third race.
