Steve shouldn't you have a fast boats start the fast boats. James will be so far behind by the time they get to the power lines, the slower boats will have caught up with him.

A word of towing advice. AVOID TOWING ON I-295 in the Richmond area. It is concrete, and is VERY bumpy. MANY boats/trailers have jumped off the hitch ball and other damage over the years. I just drove I-295 North of Jordan Point/Hopewell, and the rear of my truck was getting air (not towing).
Use I-95 instead. It may take you 5-10 minutes longer, but its absolutely worth it.
I saw the slip assignments tonight at Jordan Point. They are not too bad.

Brian I tow down I-295 from I-64 to route 10 everyweekend and have not yet had a problem. You just have to know were the big bumps are. If you have the right ball size ball for your cupler it should not jump off anyway.
Just my .02cents.
