Wayne,

You very well could be right. It actually sounds like a fun event. I believe
there is an annual one near me on the SF bay delta. If it *is* a race
though, I'll stay out of it. It's nuts enough in those narrow sloughs when
there *isn't* a race.

I'm no expert on poker runs but I've heard that the *real* event is
all about finishing first in a thinly disguised race, and that winning
the "pot" is a public relations after thought.
