Super easy to sight. Keep tight to the rope/buoy line and barely had to sight, only had to come up to dodge around people at times.

Event comments:

A gem of a local sprint. Well organized, nice course, good music and an announcer at the finish belting out everybodys name as they crossed the finish line. My new favorite sprint in Central Wisconsin, can't believe we've never done this one before.
