We know you know what to do…but we will say it anyway...please:

• Wear sunscreen. We hope to have a some at our Volunteer/Merchandise tent for anyone that needs it.
• Wear a hat
• Bring and more importantly DRINK lots of water. We have lots of water for anyone who needs it at the Volunteer/Merchandise tent. I know I’ll be drinking a lot by the time the regatta starts. ;)
• Stay out of the sun between races-bring shade. We hope to have room for all tents from all clubs
