This is a really exciting event because it is a chance to spend some time on a boat with some really nice people in the Great South Bay. 

The Ham Radio Operators will provide communications to and from the race course to the final destination in Brightwaters. 
At this time volunteers are needed at 6 AM in Brightwaters and the race is over before 11 AM.

If you are interested contact John Melfi W2HCB via Email (w2hcb@arrl.net).
