I posted that link then deleted it because it says 2008 and the hotel link says it has expired.....

Wasn't sure....

I just quickly shared it before I went out. I hope it is accurate it came from OPA site. It is what comes up when clicking 2009 Patchogue.

Thanks Tim,

Viewing from the shore?? looks to me that the spectator fleet could obstruct the view??

 

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

Spectator fleet will be kept east of the pits.

Shooting from land, the pier would be the closest to the action.

Pete, I am sure we can get you on a boat if you like.

Good talking with you this morning.

Cya in a few weeks. :seeya:

If you mount a chair on top of the canopy, he should be able to get some really good pics during the race.....:sifone:

I'd suggest a waterproof camera housing though........ :leaving:

Interesting thing.

To fly from Grand Rapids to Patchgue is over 9 hours fly/layover time. Plus get to the airport early by one hour minimum etc., and it's a 40 minute drive plus rental car pickup..... I figure about 12 hours total from the house to the race site. And $700 per person.

To drive is 12 hours 19 minutes according to Mapquest.
