Roanoke Island ,N.C. | man that stinks. i am sorry to the owner of that stick.
how is a new racer (or old) supposed to know the hight of a span on a race course?
Is it covered in the skippers meeting? are there markers up around "safe" spans? Look at a chart, maybe. It's called seamanship. The chart is only going to show you channel span heights (typically the center) in relation to tide. If you're not entering through the defined "channel" under the bridge, you're on your own. Thanks for that tidbit.

Key Largo, FL and Put-in-Bay, ... | Gosh, Guess we didn't tell anyone there was a bridge.., oops! Two bridges on the course. We also neglected to tell them there were islands and reefs and sandbars and channels, and God knows what all.., maybe even some big fish out there. Oops! and there were waves we forgot to mention.
Silly us.

Rick Yeah! Damnit Rick, you could have told us that lines can make blisters on hands, that I might get wet on a catamaran, and that I might get hungry if I don't eat or thirsty if I don't drink. I swear...these race committees today....

St. Louis, MO, | Oh...Rick, can you do something about all the weeds on the ocean side next year? And spray paint those shallow areas so I can see them better. I believe that they are painted. I think the color is "classic sand" if I'm not mistaken. Sometimes they use "classic weed" but that's more unusual.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | With waves we can bang into each other all we want. Good thing too 'cause the race would take a week.
