Floatie Island was a grand 'ole time! "A-fricken-Mazing" to quote a young surfer girl. With a lifeguard confirmed head count of 118 people total, 108 of them floating we gathered quite the floatation nation! The swim out was completed with no lifeguard rescues, and our buoy held firm at over 1000 leagues out to sea! Even the wild floaties that tried to float away on their own were captured and rejoined the flock. Mildly warm water and a slight south wind provided the floaters almost ideal floating for over 5 hours of time to sing the Floatie Island song!

Welcome to Floatation Nation!
People in need of air.
Lopi, mid-day blasty.
A day to tip your hat to!
Or your glass.
Early Floaters, note the crab in his own row boat. Later he tried to make a run for it.
Many of the pictures below have water spots on them because someone found it necessary to keep blasting people with his water cannon.
Tasha and her float placement.
This might be when the star fighter floaty tried to escape on it's own and had to be captured.
The Aladdin pretty princess palace made an appearance.
Floaters in the distance.
Meanwhile the center vortex of the nation was packed to the gills.
A group about to join in the distance.
Float on floaters!
Space bag!
Gross cig water. Good on everyone for packing their trash though!
Hauling the buoy and bedroom barge back in.
Hose down time.
Or hose face.
Good man Captain and Nation builder hauled the anchor in.
Happy Birthday sandwich half.
The Nation from afar.
Until next time floaters...
Remember the anthem!
Floatie Island a nation at Sea
1000 ft it sets us free
Lets grab a beer and have a smoke
If you get lucky you might aqua poke
So hail to the turtle and hail to the croc
All it takes is beer to join our flock
Away from the shore is where we dwell
Tell the land lovers they can go to hell
Floatie Floatie Floatie!
Island Island Island!
