bazzert Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The Volvo Ocean Race competitors are nearly in Boston, their only North American stop in this race. The first in port race starts Sat 5/9 at 1pm. I am going to try and find out more about the course but was thinking it might make an interesting kayak trip (launching from Deer Island) to watch either from shore, island or boat. Let me know if you're interested. The Boston schedule will be updated here (the video alone is worth checking out). Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TronDD Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I wanted to get down there to watch the races. It would be awesome to watch from the water. Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzert Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I would also like to do this paddle. Hope there will be enough interested to make it happen. Norm I am going to take my four year old to go see "the racing sailboats" so we'll be watching from Winthrop. The event facebook page has a lot of information for on water spectators. There is also a chart showing the course (Broad Sound so a launch from the north side of Deer Island would work). http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=47877862526 Barry.
