Orange blossoms crushed by concrete, i walk around with barefeet

My boss has had this nagging idea in his head since November. He decided that it would be brilliant to advertise our condos on the mainsail of a sailboat to be displayed in the Opening Day boat parade. For a man whom you can always count on to be ingenious, enterpreneurial, and innovative- this idea was not unexpected and hardly an isolated case of "thinking outside the box".

It is brilliant- the logo and rendering of our condos billowing in the season's first warmed, salt-tinged breeze. The bold image cutting across the water would definately raise some attention to our development and maybe sell a unit or two. But the cost, oh my!

I have been wrestling with many options that will realistically breathe life into this idea- and all have some kind of price tag. As we struggled with our budget, the concept was put on hold.

But all small fish are eventually eaten by larger ones......

When confronted with the difficulty of advertising on a main sail, my boss came up with another idea:

In order to finance the cost of printing an ad on a sailboat, we should hold a regada/maritime festival in which people register their boat to race around Blake Island and back to Bremerton.... Financing one event by organizing and hosting a larger event?

This reminds me of a certain book involving a mouse and a cookie......
