Pre-Regatta regattans

Pre-Regatta regattans
The annual civic holiday, the Regatta is (likely) tomorrow. It's been
a growing tradition for people to go to the site of the Regatta the
night before, to feel some of the crowdedness but reduced in
intensity. Tonight was the pre-Regatta night and while walking around
the Pond I ran into a friend, Kelly (at bottom), who was doing the
same with friends. She asked me to take their picture in one of the
official boats with her cell phone and the cell phones of her two
adult friends, so I did on condition I could take one with my camera.
I took four with mine. One wasn't very sharp (it was getting dark and
these were an eighth of a second with a long lens) but the other three
were passably sharp. For this one, I asked them to look pissed-off at
me. Most couldn't do it. :)

The Regatta is only "likely" tomorrow because it isn't decided until
about 6:30 am, and it depends entirely on the weather. So no one
knows tonight whether or not they have to go to work in the morning.

You're right -- it's not a competition boat. Poor explanation on my part. It is the "Officials' Boat" meaning the timing officials stand around in it during the races. The racing shells are tiny things.
