Alright, listen up, folks. We’re about to tell you about the coolest event in the bay – the San Diego Duck Derby. This one-of-a-kind event brings together sailors from all over the galaxy… but mostly from San Diego.
Basically, the San Diego Duck Derby is a fun pursuit style sail race around the bay, where the slowpokes start first and the speed demons start later. It’s a game of duck, duck, goose but on the water! And don’t worry about your skill level – this race is open to anyone who wants to have some fun. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a newbie, you’re welcome to join us. We don’t discriminate here.
Oh, and did we mention the after-party? Yeah, we’re gonna have one of those, too. We’ll be hanging out, drinking, and having a good time. If you’re lucky, you might get a trophy, but it won’t be cool.
So, if you want to be part of the coolest event in San Diego, mark your calendar and join us. But if you’re not interested, then that’s cool, too. We’ll just be over here, having a blast without you.
