Dear Coaches,
As you make your plans for venues regarding regattas that may have been held at the Tampa Bypass Canal, it appears that the bridge construction will not begin until after June 2004. This means that the canal is an option for one more year.
Also, we have formed a committee in Orlando to prepare the course at Turkey Lake Park for Scholastic Nationals in May 2004. We are working on a time line to have a fully buoyed course in place for the spring season, if all the variables stay on track. Anyone with experience with these kind of courses, please contact me to add your input, if you like.
If you do intend to use either of the above courses, keep in mind that it would be best to work together to coordinate dates and logistics, especially for the people that graciously let us use them.
I hope everyone has had a great summer!
Martyn Dennis
