I had a meeting with Terry, the owner of Eagles point resort on big sandy lake today. This is my first experience trying to do anything like this so I was a bit nervous to say the least.
As soon as I got there we took my truck out on the lake to see if the location would work. My good old lowrance 520 would show temp but no depth but I think we found a great place to set up with the finish line right in front of the bar.
After a nice drive on the lake in the rain we went inside and chatted about what we would need from him and what we would provide.
In the end we came up with a date of July 10th for the date. the race will be at the eagles point with registration and a boat show Friday night at Mark bar. Terry from eagles point and Sherlie from marks bar are super excited to be a part of this and should be a great help.
I will keep updating this as things progress, as of now it's still being planed and can change until we go to the sheriff and get our permit.
This picture is from in front of the bar looking down the boat landing.
This one is about where the starting line will be, with the finish line about where the grass is on the left.
