Deleted Scenes - Pictures from the 9th Annual Steeplechase

I'll try to describe the Steeplechase and Regatta that comes to the Colony from time to time in 10 words: Jetski race, sailboats, gambling, personal risk, Dad and his scams. There...that's 10 words. The annual race brings tourists in from the mainland for gambling and a chance to gawk at us. We get a chance to rub shoulders with people rich enough to get out here and make a few bucks on the side. What can go wrong?

A lot as it turns out - the races themselves are pretty dangerous. Old, poorly-maintained personal watercraft doing 60 miles an hour around tightly-drawn boat lanes, for one thing. Another is, no insurance and no help - you get hurt, you're on your own. Officially - the company doesn't endorse the races even though they're silent partners on everything going on. Scumbags...

So - assuming nobody gets hurt, the races themselves are awesome and the whole Colony shuts down for the day to watch. You can hitch a ride on different boats that have better views than you might - the races themselves take you in, out and around the Colony several times.







And then they have an ugly boat contest and a sailing regatta. Not really exciting, in my opinion but we clean up on beer and wine sales so it's all good. I found these on Dad's laptop and am posting them for everyone to see - I'm looking forward to my first time watching it.
