Mariners,
Just 6 days until the Lake Norman North to South Challenge. A teaser video of the course is here. LKN N/S Youtube Video - Click here
Also the North Fleet Command site has been updated. NFC Website Link - Click Here
As for a reminder on basics: Start is McCrary Creek. North Marker is no wake buoy at 150 Bridge. South Marker is Buoy B (just south of green channel marker 1). Finish is at Ramsey Park.
Boats in the water @ 8 am
Finish at Ramsey before 6 pm
Disclaimer and Waiver: NFC Events are Unsupported. You must Prepare, Sail and Extract yourselves. A waiver will be required. I will send out a copy of the standard NFC waiver that you can print out and bring to the race start.
Time Limit - While there is no time limit, the 6pm cut off should be kept seriously in mind. This is because the park closes at 7:30pm and is gated closed at that time. If you do not make the 6 pm target, you may wish to sail your boat back to start (McCrary point never closes).
Transport and Parking - I plan to park my car and trailer at McCrary. I will have a second car at Ramsey. Those that need a Shuttle ride back to McCrary can Uber or can catch a ride with me (if I am not still on the water) back to start to pick up your car and then bring your trailers down to Ramsey (30 min drive).
If you or a friend plan to attend and you have not already registered, please do so, so I can have an accurate count of expected sailors.
I look forward to seeing you all there and may good winds be in our favor.
