Re: St Pete Race Articles
Whats the special events at Vinoy Park on the 18th??
Whats the course layout:::
Is there going to be a 12 mile boat parade from the dry pits to the wet pits??
Where is start finish line???
Can boats come close to shore as they do in Sarasota???
Do you need a special pass to access the wet pits??
What the hell does it mean PARKING AND VIEWING will be at a premium?? No room??
Does..never mind the picture looks bleak enough...

the course is in the Gulf of Mexico
yes
in the middle of the course( in front of the Don Cesar)
No, you can swim right in, along with the manatees
the beaches will be packed and parking will be at a premium!
like any sporting event parking can be a hassle.

""As the name implies, offshore races should be held offshore, not in an estuary," said Suzanne Tarr, a biologist with the Save the Manatee Club, the Maitland-based organization that has actively opposed this year's race. "We think moving the race out to the beach is a win-win situation.""
Win-Win?....How does she figure? Win(smc)-Lose(racers) more like it.

Saw the articles in the paper this morning. It's in the Gulf and Bay pull-out section of the St Petersburg Times. Nice picture of Bermuda Berry Cuda on the cover.
