Rick, are you taking point on this or no?

Dennis Green is the owner of Islander Watersports and the go to guy. Rick Rick, Are you saying we (the participants) need to work with Dennis to get a rate? Are you going to collect the UKSC fees and make the arrangements with Ginette or are we (the participants) on the hook for that too?

Thanks, | | | Re: 2014 Steeplechase headcount.

Rick, based on your responses above I get the feeling you are not interested in managing or being the OA for this race. If so, have you conisdered turning over the event to Warren Green and/or Craig VanEaton? They have done a great job with the FL 300.

From what I remember, it can be a little dicey in there with coral heads etc. It's not great but Anne's beach has the same issue. For the first time last year we had a southeast breaze Sunday morning so the only option was to sail directly offshore to deep water and there be hard spots out there. Just like Anne's beach it's how brave or fool hardy you are determines how aggressive you get with your boards. I also suspect getting a support boat ocean side is not an option.

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | I don't think there is any real "beach" at the Islander so it would be an ankle deep water start like Anne's beach has been lately. The only time I've seen someone hit something is a concrete block just inside the swim rope...but we'll have to be careful about when to get the boards down. It should be doable or, if nothing else, entertaining.
What about the swim rope, though? I guess it would be removed for the start or are we starting on the south side of the pier?
