Entry # 8
There may be a caveat that should minimally impact my primary itinerary. This year the 2019 Trans Superior International Yacht Race will be held. This biennial 330 plus mile race is recognized as the longest freshwater race in the world and it is scheduled for August 3rd. The race starts at Whitefish Bay and ends in Duluth. And, this race just happens to follow the southern itinerary of my Lake Superior itinerary! Is it meant to be? We shall see. Though I have not completed registering, ‘Never Too Late’ is currently listed as an entry. (Now how did that happen?) Yes, indeed I’m looking into the feasibility of incorporating this race into my trip but among other things there are a lot of additional equipment requirements I would need to meet. (In all honesty, a couple of years ago I had looked into entering this event in a Nordica sailboat.)
I have to admit having a smile on my face when I think about the possibility. Another caveat should I enter and successfully complete this event includes a potential invitation to the Great Lake Singlehanded Society (GLSS)! Its membership are accomplished sailors who are very knowledgeable and whose advice I respect and continue to greatly appreciate. On any case, I remain focused on achieving my main objective(s). I am still in the research and feasibility stages.
