This just in ...

"Hello Paddlers,

Our second Causeway to Causeway (C2C) is scheduled for 18 October. This will again be a 22 mile non trophy event, but we will track participants finish times. All paddlecraft are welcome to attend.

Sign-up will start at 7AM and we will start promptly at 8 AM. The entry fee is $15. This will include t-shirts and lunch. The challenge will start at Lee Wenner Park in Cocoa at the base of the SR 520 Causeway bridge. The course will parallel the Intracoastal Waterway in the Indian River and continue south for 11 miles to the bridge at the Pineda Causeway (SR 519). Turn around will be just prior to the bridge at a Manatee No Wake Zone sign which will also be marked with a buoy.

There will be a maximum of 4 hours for paddlers to reach the turn around point. Any paddlers not meeting the 4 hours will exit the water at POW-MIA Park adjacent to the turn around. Also, any paddler who wishes to, can leave the course at that point. Any one exiting here will be provided a ride back to Lee Wenner Park..

Escort boats will follow the paddlers and escort stragglers to the finish line. There will be water on board the boats for paddlers but plan on bringing sufficient water for yourselves. A hydration pack or equivalent is recommended.. Also reef shoes are recommended for water entry and exit.

Please e-mail if you plan on attending so we can get an idea of how many t-shirts to order (along with shirt size). We are getting very excited about holding this challenge. It will be a lot of fun and a will be a true long distance challenge for every one. We will be sending more updates as the date gets closer. Please forward this to anyone who you think may be interested.

This event is being organized by the Cocoa Beach Surf Museum. All proceeds will benefit the operation of the museum and its community programs.
