Hanukkah and Float Your Boat

I attended a Hanukkah celebration today. I am
definitely not ready to sing (chant) in Hebrew.


Early in the cruise passengers were invited to build
a boat for the "Float Your Boat" contest. You were to
use whatever you had or could find on the ship and
the boat had to be able to float for one minute while
carrying six cans of soft drinks.

One of the participates in Road Scholars told us about
the boat he and his friend had made that was a
replica of the Prinsendam. He explained how they
had made it and it sounded intriguing so made a point
to attend the contest.

All of the boats except one floated but the Prinsdendam
won easily. It was incredible. The detail including
number of decks and lifeboats was amazing. Someone
said that considering all the time spent on it they hoped
they were able to take it home with them. Me too.
