Regatta
Stony Brook University event wherein people race across the slime ridden Roth Quad Pond in boats made out of cardboard and duct tape. It happens every spring, just about when the students are going crazy with their school workload.
The following image is from the 2006 Regatta. The Battlestar Gallactica ship was built by a team of Forumites and manned by Janet Jongebloed, Shiny, Barbara Pinzow and team captain Beverlee Toscano. We got attacked by pirates that year, but Rob beat them off good.
