I'm packing and loading up tomorrow to leave Friday AM. Want to paddle a little stretch of it before the race and have a chance to meet some of the other racers that are coming in Friday night to camp. I can't believe ya'll are letting this newbie at racing do it alone!!

I just hope I don't let the Srchr down..... but I'm excited.

I am so sorry. I really want to be there. I'm gonna try to get situated where I can make quite a few selected races next year. I suspect you and the srchrM1824 will do just great. Probably the best class for you to enter is the sea kayak class...though you also fit the touring kayak class.
I hang my head in shame and sorrow....

...but I will be back....

I know you wanted to do this race, Gerald! We'll do next year.....and a few in between maybe. I don't intend for this to be my last, so you better start "daring" me to do some of those coming up!!!!!!

I think you know by now that I LOVE the Srchr; especially after the 18+ miles I put on it last Saturday........I could feel it "purring". It's the paddler that needs to gain the experience to handle it!!!!!!!!

I'm confused, tho.........difference between entering touring vs. sea kayak?????

Sea kayak is up to 18' long, Touring kayak is up to 20'. You easily fit the width requirements for either. I studied the usual men's finish times and figured that sea kayak would be better for me. Really just depends on who's paddling what. Touring kayak times appeared to be a little tougher for me. You may not have any choice when you get there. That also depends on how many people enroll for each class. You'll do fine in any case. Don't worry about winning...just finish--and have fun.
