Please email: 3elliott@comcast.net with the name of your vessel, your contact info and the number of people you can take. We will organize a pickup and drop off zone.

Our goal is to watch the sun go down and remember Low Speed Chase from the water, in a way they would have wanted to be remembered.

Please get the word out and boats out on the water.
