Reminder to everyone to check texts and your email. You should have gotten your boat number and flight times. Junior teams launch with Todd at Stony Mountain but weigh in at Swift Island at 3pm.

High school flights come in starting at 3:30pm. Check for your time to be back and do not be late. One of our staff will be on the dock to check you in.

Everyone coming to Swift Island remember to drive all the way in and park in a parking spot. There is no check in so launch your boat when you are ready. Blast off will be around 7am or safe light, clear weather.

This year we will idle by a boat at the bridge rather than idling out. Repeat, everyone needs to be in the cove on the ramp side of the bridge. You will isle by the boat for live well check and idle under the bride to take off.

The water is still very warm so use your live well treatment and add ice or use frozen water bottles to try to cool down the water 2 or 3 degrees.

Everyone travel safely and we will see you in the morning. Thank you and good luck!!
