What do you think about Sunday at this point? If it continues to look good where and at what time should folks show up?

how about 10 at crandon

Winds are predicted NE which could make getting from crandon to ft. lauderdale pretty tough. I guess we can just see how it is tommorrow morning but if the direction is NE 89th to matheson via crandon and stiltsville sounds like a nice ride. Matt.

how about Tiki Beach to Crandon, start time at 1pm. To give people time to sort out cars. Neil

I thought Crandon was closed?? or are you just going to land on the sand bar and walk in??? What is the final launch area??

[kent]

im in. see you at the start in FT. L. 1o sharp. finish at crandon on the beach, but must go in at the launch corridor. we should be finishing by 1:35 if we start on time. any one there that might be able to take pics and keep finishing times and positons?

I'm in too. But I've never kited in Ft Lauderdale so I need directions from Miami to Tiki Beach. And where's a good spot to park. Yeah! matt.

I'll try to remember to pick up some disposable UW cameras to bring along. Then again, you'll be there well before me so repeating Kent's question, can anyone shoot at Crandon?

[mbs]

thanks for directions rick. crandon has been open.
