The course for the 2008 Great Eel River Duck Race was shortened do to a headwind. The trumpets sounded, the cannon fired, and the starting-line boom was lifted. The ducks were content to huddle aimlessly. The herd moved left, then right - some ducks began to wander upstream. Finally, a group of six broke from the pack and started for the dam. The winner darted ahead to finish a full 2 minutes before second place. The second place duck had a significant lead over 3rd.
