I am not sure how many miles. It is not a long run maybe 30-40 miles total? Maybe more depending on how many laps around some of the lakes.

What a really great day. Thank to everyone who attended and the NIOC boat club knocked another event out of the ball park!
200 people arrived on 64 boats. Hundreds of spectators lined the bridges the shore line and by boat. Even the Sherriff's dept boat had his camera out. Hopefully in a good way?
The club's many great sponsors help make this happen.

Pictures from Lee Hogan.

The boats coming in to register at Freddies.


The start of the event single file down the river

Heading towards the river. Not real close shot but very artistic.

I was testing a pair of digital video recording sunglasses on Sunday. Worked rather well.

Go for a ride on the River Shiver behind the wheel of a MTI cat.
