\"River<\/a>By: Stan Jordan<\/p>\n

The Advance Chassis\u2019 2015 Regatta on the Maumee was a blast this year.<\/p>\n

There was plenty of water in the river and no one had to portage. Just sit with your feet in the water and drift along.<\/p>\n

Dan said there were three rafts, five kayaks, and three canoes. A total of around twenty people.<\/p>\n

As I understand, they saw some eagles but no mermaids.<\/p>\n

It took about seven hours to drift from the park down to the area of Dead Man\u2019s Curve. Dan\u2019s Sloop won the race, but his son Austin had a luxury liner supported by eight fifty-five gallon barrels.<\/p>\n

This is a phone picture of refreshment time somewhere along the race route.<\/p>\n

There are rumors of another raft race on the Auglaize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
