Is anyone interested in testing route:
1. Havre de Grace MD to Norfolk approximately 200 mi, or
2. Havre de Grace MD to Norfolk & return to Havre de Grace- approximately 400 mi
Time frame: May or first of June before doldrums hit.
There's camping along the way or hotels. Stopping points TBD. There some beach access, for draining hulls and regrouping etc.
No rules, aside from collecting at stopping points, or sail straight through, and any rules formulated are decided by participants. No entrance fees.
(Just too far to go to Everglades Challenge and yes I'm familiar with the other Chesapeake 200 miler race)
Let me know your interest/ dates you could do it or any ideas you might have.
Thanks
BB

The city of Havre de Grace will take reservations for multiple boats at marine and area is good to launch cats. Is there any interest in any specific date? You can contact me via email if you like. Tks.

Any limits on the platform? If there is a $10K purse on the line, I might be skipping the Hart Miller Island party and racing straight through. -

HA. Probabaly need enough willing participants to put money in the pot so that it can be distributed at the end of the race to winner. Might be a tad hard to organize a party on the island anyway.
