This was a great event, it has been running for 82 years, couple thousand people when I got there on Sunday after a huge storm. Talked to some of the promoters, They sell Vip Tents on the corse for $2500 and up, you get a fenced off area, tent, table, chairs and X amt of tickets for the beer trucks and food tents. They ran 2 cranes, slinging boats in and out between each race it ran like clock work.
The event is held on the back side of Ft. Monroe, same place US Offshore used to run the "Virginia is for Lovers" Offshore Race, would be great to see that again.
