If for some reason your car does not make the ferry, please send your rower on the ferry to find a ride with someone! Carpooling is encouraged as wait times getting off the island can be long...

TRAILER UNLOADING after the regatta is planned for Monday practice, 4-6 pm.

Additional Information

SHUTTLE

The organizers are offering shuttles from the ferry docks (south and north end) to help alleviate some of the travel times getting off the island at the end of the day. The shuttles will run a few runs in the morning and then continuously throughout the afternoon. Shuttle fee is $10 for the day, seats can be reserved on the morning shuttles for $5 in advance. Seats are limited, LINK FOR RESERVATIONS COMING SOON. 

PARKING

There will be street parking around the Burton Loop and some parking available on a first come, first served basis at Camp Burton. Carpooling is HIGHLY encouraged. This is a residential neighborhood, please keep driveways clear and be mindful of yards and landscaping. Please do not park in front of mailboxes or on drainage pipes. It is suggested that drivers also take care to note the ditches when parking along the roadway, some are hidden by overgrowth. We also ask that you remind your teams and supporters that their respectful behavior in the early morning hours is much appreciated. For your safety and the safety of regatta and non-regatta drivers on the loop please walk against traffic so that oncoming drivers (and you) can see one another. 

FOOD

Rowers and families will be responsible for all main meals, snacks and COFFEE! 

  In previous years there was a food truck serving sandwiches, but we have not heard if that is happening so come prepared!
