We look forward to those friends who will return to share the excitement and to those who will make this year’s event their first. Once again, all the activities will take place around the beautiful Buccaneer Resort, St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, and Buck Island, a US National Monument named as “one of the world's top ten beaches.” (National Geographic)
Hi Rob,
I hope to hear from American Airlines soon with some sort of discount -not sure what but they have been very good to us in the past. I'll announce the details as soon as I get them.
Have not thought about awards for those that swim both events -and visit the world famous (gotta see it to believe it) beer drinking pigs but that sounds like a good idea.
Who needs a steel tape -We just sit up at The Buccaneer's Terrace Resturant overlooking the Caribbean and point to a spot and say....."the buoy should go right about -there".......
Randy,
Are you making any special arrangements with an airline for discounted air fares to St Croix?
Are there any special awards for those who swim both races? How about for those who knock down a few brews with the beer drinking pigs?
And, did you get your steel tape and cinder block for the official course measurements?
American Airlines has once again given us discounted airfare to St Croix. The details are posted under the "updates" tab on this website: www.randynutt.com/aqua9.html
If you are looking for that perfect end of season swim we still have room in the 5 and 10 mile swims.
