Talking About Adventure In Small Boats
I have updated the derby points entry so you can get an extra 8 points per week if you practice a survival skill along with a day on the water with SPOT.
Please note that I do not have any testing engineers so you are it. If you notice anything weird, let me know.

This is a great idea. At the end of a long training day rolling and reentry practice would help everyone prepare for the EC. As the water cools down, understanding how I feel in cool water in a safe manor (near a warm truck) will add to my skill set. I did practice last year but not in cool or cold water (practice stopped in Oct). I hope to do more this year.

I know the programming is probably impossible, but if could be done, it would be a great idea to include a "24 hour experience" once or twice a month in the Derby. This would be a certain number of points for going out on the water, traveling at night, and sleeping on the shore or in a boat for a minium of 24 hours straight. This would be realistic training for an EC.
I will start the EC derby as soon as the BBC concludes. I realize this is late in the season, but at this time we can't track in different events at the same time so I can't have overlap.
Last year the EC derby started on 10/13. This year it will start on 10/19.
I have been thinking of ways to overcome the problem with overlapping events. If I am able to fix that, I would move the starting date back a few weeks. If that is accomplished, someone could do the BBC derby and have points roll into the EC derby. Someone not doing the BBC would earn points while the BBC derby and event was ongoing. This would be more fair to tribers doing the Trifecta.
I have added the EC2016 and UM2016 derbies to the list.
If you send me the details, I can enter it for you. Just send the dates and what you did. If you were on the water with SPOT, I can look at your tracks for that day.
