Thank you all for your overwhelming interest and offers to help. My inbox is full of positive comments all day. The biggest help that anyone can give right now is to register early. We need a head count before we can order shirts, food, stickers for boats, pace boats, paramedics, dock help, and many other things that will make this a quality event.
Again, the entire committee appreciates all the positive response.

I normally don't have my boat ready by then but this may be a reason to get going earlier.
