Thanks everyone who came out to compete and to watch. Hope everyone enjoys the prizes.
The next event will be Wednesday June 18th around 0630pm. This event will be a full-on downriver race starting at the pool put-in at Reedy creek and finishing at the steps for the take-out. So, please pass the word, breakout those dusty long boats and get ready for a good time.
Thanks Julie for the pics, top notch.
