Key Kite Challenge Anyone???

Update 3/17

Things are going nicely.

We have a team of four and room for 2 more.

Boat secured.

Boat driver situation is still to be worked out, but Brad from Seven sports said he was going to post a list soon of eligible captains for hire that would fit the bill. He recommended we should still try to secure our own. We have a few leads, but still need this worked out.

Housing issue resolved as there is a local campground owned and operated by Seven Sports. Bingo.

So we are almost there and then the real planning begins.

I think a bit more leadership is needed from the race organizers regarding logistics of the race. Kent has already posed some interesting questions.

I think once a team is formed, we explore this race as a team and decide as a team if it something we want to do.

I am simply open to the idea of this being a reality. I think it will be a huge undertaking however. I don't have all the answers, hence the post.

My post was saying you guys should figure out where the race is ending, as in an the actual spot, not just "Key West". I deleted it because I don't care all that much about it and it's the rider's/organizer's responsibility.
Anyway, having a more specific end point might be a good idea.
Maybe not, maybe anywhere in Key West will do.

If I overlooked more detailed info on the race website or on here, I apologize. I didn't see anything though, and usually I am pretty thorough.

Scott,

You are spot on. Details of the race are a bit hazy, especially something of this magnatude. We'll see.
