We used to get anywhere from 8 to 15 cats together on a full moon and each boat would put 5$ into the kitty and each boat left the shore one by one in 10 minute intervals. After the last boat left , we gave them 10 minutes and sounded a horn to signal the start. Each boat was equiped with a water baloon launcher(surgical tubing and a bra cup). If you were hit by a water baloon, you had to retire to the campsite and the last boat unhit would get the kitty bank. Lots of fun!!
