-a reminder that early (discounted) registration ends August 31st 2009. Join us for a beautiful open water event and fun in the sun..... Bermuda Round the Sound FAQ’s: Q: Do I need a support boat? A: No. safety craft are monitoring the course. Q: Are there water stops along the swim course? A: Yes, there are several water stops along the course. Q: How will I navigate during the swim? The course will be marked. In addition you will receive information on the course during the pre-race meeting. Weather permitting we will offer the swimmers a boat tour of the race course at this meeting. Q: Are wetsuits allowed? A: No. The water temperature has averaged 78 degrees the past several years in Bermuda in October. Q Do I need to rent a car while in Bermuda? A: Cars are not available to rent in Bermuda. The two best options for travel while on island are by bus or taxi. The bus system is wonderful, clean, and on time! You can purchase transportation passes for the days in your stay directly from your hotel. Another option is moped/scooter rental. Transportation is provided the participants from the Grotto Bay Beach Resort to the group swims Friday and Saturday morning, the pre race meeting, and to the event on Sunday. Q: Are there socials planned? A: This is an Aqua Moon Adventures event which means while on island it is one big social. :bliss: Sunday evening after the event we will socialize at the Swizzle Inn which is next door to the headquarters hotel: The Grotto Bay Beach Resort. Q: What if I have more questions? A: See the event website www.aquamoonadventures.com or send me an email offline.

I've done the race twice and swum in the ocean there and have never been stung. Fabulous race!

Direct flights from DC seem to have disappeared since last year! Looking for a way to get there. Try flying out of B'more or IAD? I'm looking to go too, and I'm in the DC area as well....

If Alexandra Paul is showing up for this one, count me in, he said with his eyes misting over as though lost in a happy dream. -LBJ

Did a sailboat race to Bermuda from Massachusetts earlier this month - saw a lot of Portuguese Man O'War in the waters around Bermuda as well as washed up on the beaches. FYI... Jess:afraid:

Yes, looks like the airlines are splitting the trip from DC. Fortunately several major carriers go to Bermuda creating competition and keeping the airfares very reasonable –less than $290 ( plus taxes averaging about $100). Hope you join us!
