The Office of Proposal Development participated in the 5^th annual Whatever Floats Your Boat Regatta at the FSU Coastal Marine Lab on September 24.  The event is where individuals or teams build a boat out of recycled materials and then attempt to sail it while raising awareness about recycling and the impact plastics have in a marine environment.

The Office of Proposal Development became The Office of Pirate Development and we entered a boat that the four of us had created by spending our nights and weekends putting together (and shed some blood, sweat, and tears along the way).  Unfortunately, we didn’t win first place.  But we did win an award – the “Titanic Award” – for tipping our boat over before we even got to the starting line.  Most importantly though we had fun as a team and participated in a great cause!

See you at next year’s boat race!
