I want to alert the community here that the 9th annual Wye Island Electric Boat Marathon will be held Oct 1 in St. Michaels Maryland. This 24 mile race course emcompasses approximately 8 miles of open water, crossing the Miles River tributary of the Chesapeake Bay twice, and 16 miles of relatively sheltered water encircling Wye Island. Please go to www.electricboats.org and click on the Wye Island EB Marathon tab for complete rules and information. If anyone has any questions or would like to participate, please email me directly to "EBAA (at) ec.rr.com".
On a related note: In the early years of this forum ideas for such competitions were widely discussed here. However, when I posted similar information earlier this year there was no discussion at all. I realize at that time I was accused by the moderator of spamming the list so that may have had a somewhat tempering effect on further discussion but I seriously would like to know who if any here are interested in electric boat competions and how you would like to see them develop.
Also, if you can't make this event in Maryland, please keep in mind the date for the next EB race in Cortez Florida: April 15, 2011. Thank you.
Tom Hesselink
