I need a few safety boaters for both >days, but almost 20 people on land each day. Safety >boaters must be experienced IV+ and hopefully have had >some rescue training. Paddling with your friends is >one thing, providing safety for a public event steps >up the responsibility. Throw ropes will be required, >but will hopefully remain unused. > >The schedule is not final yet, but here is what I know >so far: >Friday afternoon: Racer registration begins at 3PM, so >we'll need a few people during the day. The volunteers >are scheduled to meet race officials at 4PM to get >assignments, I'm sure we can get that moved later if >necessary. > >Saturday: Start at 8AM, finish by Noon. The Saturday >race is a short sprint from above Entrance to below >Cucumber. Boats will launch one at a time.
