The regatta follows a challenging route that runs north <br /> along the length of Mashpee Pond, weaves a narrow path through the passage to Wakeby <br /> Pond, then requires a circumnavigation of three uninhabited islands before heading to the <br /> finish at the southern end of Mashpee Pond. <br /> Entries <br /> In this, our first year, entries are by invitation only. Our intent is to test out the racecourse with <br /> a modest number of experienced rowers to gauge whether the distance and skills required to <br /> navigate the course are reasonable enough to provide for a larger competitive field. <br /> There is no fee. We will pass the hat to defray any out of pocket costs, such as printing for <br /> course maps. <br /> LogiStiCS <br /> The race will be held on Sunday, September 1.3th.
