Looks like Nancy had the more stable and robust platform, hence her ability to make better time.

Mike...Nancy may have still won, but it would have been closer if Dan had a better paddle. He couldn't get any movement after three stokes and it broke.

Dan's craft certainly seems a model of precision bottle placement.

But I would award Nancy the Gold Neptune Trident for adding the American Flag to her craft.

The only question I have is: Shane, where is your craft?

You could lash about half a dozen Democrats together.... But they sink rather than swim.
