rylevine Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 SALEM SOUND SWIM AND FIN RACE: http://www.swimandfin.org/About 17 kayakers with experience are needed for 15 course positions and 2 reserves. Kayakers will be expected to: 1. patrol a zone2. identify tired, distressed or disabled swimmers 3. signal a rescue boat4. offer the swimmer support 5. carry and use a hand-held radio (we may have a _limited_ number of radios available but kayakers with their own radios are best)The safety operations are much more organized this year and we will be having a dress rehearsal on Saturday August 20th at 4 pm and race day is Sat Aug 27th in the late morning. We can couple the dress rehearsal to a paddle. PM me if interested, and I can give more details. Proceeds to benefit Salem Sound Coast Watch.

rylevine Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Had our pre-race safety meeting today, and was notified by the harbormaster that no propellers near swimmers (obvious in retrospect). Consequently, there is a need for more kayakers. Meeting 8/27 Forest River at 9:00am, race starts at 10:00am, and should be done by 12:30. If interest, and weather permits, could follow up with afternoon L3 paddle around Salem sound. Post here or PM me if interested.
