Big Boats On the River

We recently visited Kingston, Ontario on the weekend of a BIG boat race...

(By that, I mean that the speedboats in the race were really BIG!)

I would guess that they are only used for racing.

The event was sponsored by Power Boating Canada. 

Dozens of spectators wandered around the piers admiring these impressive monster boats.

We didn't watch the race - but as I heard the boats rumbling through the water to the starting line - and smelled their diesel fuel - I couldn't help but wish they would use a less polluting energy to power them.

There is only so much clean air and water on the planet!
