• Comments: Need to specify the difference between rt 50 & business 50 in the directions. Actually put up the signs to parking that the directions say to follow. First race, so I don't know if this is usually a problem; but the buyoys for the next turn were too far away to see from water level after a turn. You didn't actualy have anything to USE for siting until you finished about half a leg. The leg along the shore was easier since you could use stuff on the beach for sighting. But the legs headed out into the water had nothing until you were close enough to see the buyoys. It's possible this is MY individual problem, and I'm just horrible at sighting. I probably am - but I feel like I got better at that (sighting) over the course of the race. The second circuit when I was better, I still had problems w/ sighting on the second & third legs of the triangle.
