Captain's Guidelines
  1. All boats participationg will gather on the vicinity of the last house South of the PV Bridge.This is the area at the cut that goes into Guana.

  2. Boat numbers should be posted on the starboard side, where they can be clearly seen.

  3. Boats will proceed at the start signal (6:30 pm) in numerical order. (Boat #1, Boat #2, etc.) Boat #1 will be the lead boat and thus set the pace. All boats must maintain 6 knot speed.

  4. Boats will keep a minimum distance of 300 feet from each other. During the procession down the waterway, please maintain this distance while the boat ahead of you "displays" at various docks. Remember, there are judges on some of the docks! The procession shall continue to the last house in March Landing.

  5. Communications by VHF Channel 16. Back-up Channel 68.

  6. Boat sizes will be staggered in order that all large boats will not be one after another. This is for better viewing purposes on behalf of the spectators and judges.

  7. Be cautious of "palm valley torpedoes", and debris in the waterway.

  8. Larger boats be cautious of smaller boats. Be mindful of your wake.

  9. Practice all boating and general waterway rules and safety

GOOD LUCK & HAVE FUN!
