The cause of course is the pursuit of more fun and games. Each year Lay Day is the day that many of the regatta attendees take to have fun on land along with their friends and families. The events, this year being produced by sporting club Magnolias, are done in a hilarious novelty format adapted from an internationally famed format and appropriately dubbed Trinimatch . Under contention today are the Volleyball Finals, Tug O War, Diaper Derby and Five in A Sack and the Balloon Brigade. First up was the Five in A Sack, which as its name suggests requires five persons to jump all together in harmony to get to the finish line.
Many teams didn t get very far since each jumper wanted to go at their own pace.
Laughter was a signature sound for this event. You have never seen so many degrees of diapering or even crawling. One baby gave a commando type roll on his way to the finish line. Splish, Splash and Bounce. The mobile Balloon Brigade saw sailors passing slippery water-filled balloons over, under and just about any allowable direction with the hopes of being the team with the most number to their credit.
