On Saturday August 25, at 8AM ten kayaks set out across the bay from the Presque Isle lagoons to the first stop at the Chestnut ST boat launch.

After a bit of refreshment, they were off to the Vista 3 boat ramp at Presque Isle. In the mean time a bit of rain started to fall at Vista 3 so I called for Alan KB3DUO for a possible weather report and lo and behold he was listening and assured me that the rain was out over the lake and would not affect the event. After a stop at Vista 3 they were off to the start/finish line at the lagoons. Also at 10 AM eleven boats left the start line and headed through the lagoons to the West Pier rest stop, then out into the bay headed for Perry Monument/Misery Bay and back to the finish line. Everyone got home safe and sound .

Diane Sickles from the March of Dimes and I would like to THANK the following operators for their assistance: Frank KB3NAT, Matt KB3CAT, John N3DBC and Alan KB3DUO.
