It is really important that everyone going to the regatta has GroupMe loaded on a device and unmutes it so that you are getting updates. You also need to be sure that you are checking GroupMe regularly for updates. We will only be sending updates via GroupMe next weekend.

This is a 2000m buoyed race course. The team tent will be near the finish line and the beach area near the tent is really a great area for viewing the race. There are a couple other areas where the race can be viewed as well, but would require driving. Slade Road/US Army Corps of Engineer Boat ramp offers parking and a view of the start dock.
