I know this is probably a dumb question, but regarding the St. Clair river, BWORA offshore races. Are you allowed to be on your own boat, on the river while the races are going on?

I see boats out there all the time, but I didn't know if they we related to the racing, they usually sit in the middle, and racers pass on the outsides.

Thanks

Usually you just have to stay way way back. But you can sit on your boat. Can see more from shore though.

the boats in the middle of the course are rescue/medic boats, boats on the outside of the course are the patrol/course worker boats to keep spectators at a safe distance. if you have a suitable boat or skills you may be able to volunteer and have one of the best seats in the house

There are a couple of water hazards that volunteer boats mark for us. They get a pretty good view Might be worth checking into

I appreciate the input. I just sent an email to the guy that runs the volunteer patrol boats. Maybe I will get in!

Thanks!!
