Itinerary description

11.3 statute miles. 600 cubic feet per second. I was told that 425 needed for safe run. I expected to hit bottom and damage my boat during this race, but did not hit once. Did not even hear my rudder kick up. I have to say that this race was the most fun of all the NECKRA races I have participated in.
