We were there 3 days early last year and set up at the Carribean Club Wednesday nite with 4 other boats for $10 a day $10 to launch.

This year I would like to go 3-5 days early. My friend from NJ is also coming early with his Tiger but how early depends on how much we will have to spend to store/sail the boat. I know we are probably going to be the first ones there but I feel as if there are plenty of other people that would show up a day or 2 before?

Last year Mary mentioned telling the park that the regatta was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Could we tell them that and that our set up day is Thursday? That would give us 2 free days and we could pay a fee for any days prior to that?

I feel it would increase participation from the Northern States if we could sail a few days prior. Last year Thursday before ended up being too windy so it's nice to get there early to get nice sailing in a few days.

If others are interested practice races Friday might be fun and appreciated. 2 years ago we had around 8 F-18s out there running our own practice races.

TO FINISH making my plans i'm trying to figure out where the cheapest while still convienent RV park would be. Paying $60-80 a nite to park and RV almost doesn't justify the cost. I'm familiar with the hotels from last year and they weren't too much more than that.

THANKS! Last year was amazing and i'm looking forward to another great year. People who didn't come last year (11 F-18s compared to 18-20 the prior year) really missed out!
