Jon Carter has graciously decided to be the race director for the Ebb Tide Marathon. As you know this was one of the races Earl Baldwin directed for many years. The race is definitely on for Saturday Sept. 15th starting at 11:00 A.M. from the Brewer Boat launch. High tide for Sept. 15 is just before 11:00 A.M. so the race will have the beginning of the outgoing tide. For this race and the Tour De Verona Earl always had wearing life jackets mandatory. This was not just a requirement that Earl had. Since both of these races are in tidal waters a U.S. Coast Guard permit is required. A requirement of the permit is that all participants must be wearing life jackets. So just a heads up to be prepared to wear life jackets for the race. It is a great race so hope to see a lot of paddlers participate.
