Is there enough water for the long board boats?

I think they will be holding the short course races in the area east of Cedar Key (South Bar Channel). It looks like that is 5-7 feet deep. I suppose the distance race will go through some shallows, but so does the Steeplechase....a great equalizer.

What he said - use the boards for sailing on Sat, then use them for fish cleaning on Sun. There are lots of shallows around the area - wanna borrow my 16??
