Re: No overnight RV Boat ramp parking!

That is correct. However, you might be able to get a campsite. They are probably full now, but you could give it a try.

Minimum Lifejacket Requirements

The first step in the Event Registration process is your Lifejacket Inspection. Every year we have lots of Challengers who don't get it right. If this is your first time, i really need to checkout this PDF:

Re: Florida Event Docs

Got the Important Numbers up. Make sure you have a copy with you for the event and make sure your Shore Contact has one too. Still waiting on the ACA to get the insurance up.
