The FSU Coastal & Marine Laboratory (FSUCML) will be hosting their annual Chris Koenig Memorial "Whatever Floats Your Boat" Regatta (WFYB) on Saturday, October 10th. This event invites participants to build a boat made entirely of recycled materials and race them in the FSUCML boat basin. Each boat is manned by a captain and crew and can be as creative or outrageous as you want it to be. The regatta is free and open to the public, and there will have food vendors and activities for visitors that choose to stay dry and cheer from the shore! 

If you're interested in building a boat and entering it in the race, you can register on the marine lab's website: https://marinelab.fsu.edu/outreach-and-education/regatta/

When: October 10th | 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Where: FSU Coastal & Marine Lab | 3618 Coastal Highway 98
St. Teresa, FL 32358-2702
