James Moore Memorial Race 2014
Thank you everyone for making this event so great. This year ran so smoothly. We had 105 canoes on the water and only 3 never finished. I am told one pulled out because he remembered he had other plans so paddled in himself. The king tide was a test at the end and im glad everyone challenged themselves and made. congrates to everyone.
