- Paddles are in boat positioned to team's liking before start of race
- "Ready.. Go"- stopwatch starts timing!
- Team crosses rope, gets boat in water, gets in boat, paddles out and around marker, paddles back to starting point, exits boat, pulls boat back on land, crosses rope.. whew!
- Stopwatch stops timing
- Time is recorded
- Try again for $5 more if you think you can do better :)
