Talking About Adventure In Small Boats
Fair winds and the best of luck to all the UM and EC entrants.
For the "virgins" be sure to read Devos post that Chief made into an article and remember that the first person to cross Tampa Bay rarely is the winner! Get in, get comfortable and don't get out until CP1.
Cheers

That was a good and detailed top ten tips list from the magazine section of the old site. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
The top three preventable problems that I had on the NCC last year were the following: (and these problems would be exaggerated on the longer EC)
1. stinging eyes - bring some eye drops. Use appropriate lotion for above the eyes.
2. chaffing. lube up. small chaffing turns in to big problems.
3. water in amas. I was shocked to discover how much water weight I was carrying in my amas by the end of the race. Periodically stop and empty them.
