Paddle of the Bays Cape Cod Report

[Weed]

The second annual Paddle of the Bays was held Saturday under perfect conditions in Osterville/Cotuit. I believe they more than doubled the amount of paddlers from last year so I can see this becoming a "must do" event on Cape Cod. Good to see some Zoners there Cyclops, ROBB and maybe more i did not meet. Congrats on your wife coming in second ROBB in the Fun Division.

The best part was when some known racers showed up and the Speedboard team. We were not expecting that many serious racers and it was a pleasure to have them there. It was almost a scene out of Star Wars with that many rocket ships (speed boards) displayed on the beach. What a difference in board shapes from the beginning of the summer when I attended the Wellfleet Supathon to last Saturday. I wish I brought my camera.

As far as results I don't have the offical results but I can tell what I do know. Male Elite Div. 1.) Speedboard guy, don't have name but will post when I get the result list. 2.) Chris Bagg <sp> hope that's right. 3.) Don't know, will get name 4.) Cyclops - Gregg Behlman

Female Elite Div. 1.) Kim Reilly 2.) Danielle DeForest <sp> hope that's right 3.) Marta will get last name.

Btw... the elite divison did 2 laps around the island a little over 10 miles.

Amy Hotchkiss and crew did a fantastic job coordinating the paddleboard division. A big thank you for a job well done. Btw... Amy came in first in the fun division. Hopefully, we can double the amount of paddlers again and make this a Fall Classic on Cape Cod.

I will post the offical results when I get them.
