1933 - ZEPHYRUS - 1934 Reqatta Little boats, big boats, yachts, and ships, Trailers, gillnetters, tugs, and skiffs, Launches, coast guards, warships, too, Motorboats, sailboats, and canoes. On the Columbia River at the mouth of the sea, Sailboats, like clouds, drift along leisurely. Yachts, painted white, quite neat and trim, Bright colored canoes o’er the waters skim. Down on the waterfront, bustle and hurry, The gillnetters chug and motorboats scurry. Skif fs lap and splash, and ships come and go; Where there is water, an everchanging show. People are shouting, excited with glee, At boats that are lightly skimming the sea. Pictures are taken of boats all in line And ready to start when the signal says time. One, two, three, and the guns are shot! The smoke on the river is one dark blot. The motorboats are racing to and fro, Just who will win we don’t yet know. Some cheer for the red boat, some cheer for the white, Just look at the green one, it’s almost out of sight. It looks like the red boat is getting ahead, Just a few more yards—hurrah, for the red!
