Bring your boat and anchor along the route to act as route markers as well as a safety platform. Boats that anchor will be given specific geographical coordinates and will have to leave the harbour by 7:15 am & be on station by 7:45 am. Or if Friday is a nice night, you may choose to anchor overnight at your spot on the route. The Office will have mileage signs for each boat for you to display so the swimmers can see how far they have gone. There will be crash boats out along the route to help you find your anchoring spot and get you aligned with the course Saturday morning. We are looking to fill the remaining 6 empty positions which are specified every 100m from NSC to BYC.
Join the Safety Flotilla on your kayak, canoe, SUP.
We hope to have upwards of 40+ kayaks, SUPs & canoes. The more safety boats, the safer it is.
If you want to kayak or join the boats anchored along the swim line, please contact Parke Davis by June 24.
