Most of us are probably thinking more about gravy boats than boating today. If you're looking for a fun boat-related craft project that you can share with the younger generation while waiting for dinner to cook, try making a Mayflower-type boat out of coffee sleeves and other items you probably thought should head for the trash. You can even use them as place markers for the dinner table.

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us here at boats.com!
