2008 Great Island Kayak Race will be Tuesday 30th December

Have spoken to Evan and a few of the lads, due to the tides we can't do a circumnavigation of the Great Island this year in week following Xmas so there will an alternate route of similar distance probably incorporating Haulbowline and Spike Islands. Will update the website and post more details later.

Hi Folks
We've changed the start time to 11:00hrs to help accomodate people travelling. If people aim to be at Marlogue Marina for 10:00hrs, briefing 10:30hrs so we can be on the water for 11:00hrs start.
