Picking the Course – After passing my location, paddlers had to choose whether to go to the left or the right of a small island. The early paddlers tended to take the straighter route to the left of the island while the later paddlers tended to be split on which route to take. Probably didn’t make any difference in the final standings but the straight route to the left was likelier the easier since the bends weren’t as acute.

Boat 30

Tow rope anyone?

    Hi Ron, thanks again for your help along the shore near the finish line. Do you sell copies of the photos? (interested in the two close ups headed into shore)

      The short answer is “Yes .”
      The slightly longer answer is ” Yes, I can, but since we don’t have the website set up for retail ordering and payment, we’ll need to use e-mail instead.”
      My e-mail is shutterNclick (at) bell.net.
