Chuck a duck for conservation ?

You may think the UK is a quiet backwater, with not much going on , but think again , we have many exciting things , like "Chuck a duck " , a local event , and a chance to win $20,000 USD,
OK , I will admit we don't do Rodeo's , Too noisy and dusty,
and plays havoc with the creases in the trousers ,
BTW, I will be entering my duck(Donald ) and with my insider knowledge of this stretch of the river the $20 K should be mine, I hope this year it is a clean drug free race ,

lol Bros you are looking at a very disappointed guy , I cannot launch my duck or even handle it before the event
, I had the duck tuneing theory down to a fine art ,
#1 if it went down stream with a tail
wind up is ass , give the underside a quick PTFE spray ,
#2 if it went against the flow ,roughfen up it's ass with some emery paper for better grip in the water ,
#3 launch on the left bank , shorter course and faster flow on that side ,
so my odds have dropped back to 165000 to 1 ,
,
still it is all for Charity , and my duck will be racing unmodified ,
and will help raise more than $660,000 USD for charity
P.S. *thinks* I have a friend who is a scuba diver , wonder if he could help ! but then how would he recognise my duck from the other 164,999 ducks from under water ?
BTW , I have been told I have a competitive nature , does it show ??

I have a feeling you may be in over your head this time though on the competition end.

That I do not doubt. Yeah, done a few weird things too. I used to drag home lumber from places for building jumping ramps. Nah, we was poor.

jump ramps ? we was so poor we had nothing to jump with,only our own 2 feet , and that was without shoes ,
, we didn't even have a front gate , it was taken by the Gov. for the war effort , to make Spitfires , mind you I never saw a Spitfire made out of wrought iron , maybe we were conned ! ,
'My saucepans have all been surrendered,
The teapot is gone from the hob,
The colander's leaving the cabbage,
For a very much different job.
So now, when I hear on the wireless
Of Spitfires showing their mettle,
I see, in a vision before me,
A Dornier chased by my kettle.'
LOL , recycling is not a new invention , the UK has been there and got the T , 63 years back ,
BTW ,my parents never got the gate back
