Ok guys, this is what was worked out today.They are wanting us to put on a fun regatta with exposure through out Surfside Beach. We plan on having 3 to 5 bouy races on Sat., then having a distance on Sun. The distance race will be a lemans start from the beach with all boats raceing portsmith numbers, we will be working out the logistics of working the boats through the surf (we got it worked out but will explain later). We will leave the beach --go around a bouy--either go north are south, depending on wind direction,--go from one end of Surfside to the other end and back to start.

The hard part of putting this on--- we can get the boats on the south beach access--17th ave. south-- hopefully leave the trailors on the beach--still being worked on that--parking is the tough situation--this is no r v hookups in surfside-- there are places to the north and south--just a few miles-- parking on the beach front is tight -- we will be parking on the side the road-- we are working on maybe getting permission to park on some empty lots down there--there will be a surfing contest going on at the same time just 2 blocks north of us-- 2blocks north of that will be kayak demontrations-- paddle boarding--kite surfing. this will be a true beach festival

As you can see there will be alot going on-- alot of stuff to work out-- a little bit of time to do it-- but it looks like it will be alot of fun.

Start firing back your questions as quick as you can so I can get the answers

thanks for your time
