Ride the Bull 2021
June 26 @ Fort Wetherill, Jamestown, RI, United States
COURSE MAP
The course - the same one as 2018 - has a few twists and turns, so please study the directions and look at the map carefully.
Starting from West Cove, you'll round the rock at the mouth of the cove and proceed west into Concord Gulf Cove, where you'll go inside of an orange marker buoy deep in the cove. You'll then continue west around Southwest Point, turning into Mackerel Cove. A short ways into this cove, you'll round a small island close to the shore (counterclockwise), then head back out of the cove and head southeast past Kettle Bottom Rock to turn on green buoy G-7.
You'll then head ENE back past West Cove, past the Fort Wetherill boat docks, past Bull Point (inside of the large rocky island off the coast), past the House on the Rock, and turn on green channel buoy G-11 (counterclockwise). You'll then head back past Bull Point, Fort Wetherill, and West Cove, where you'll start the second lap.
The second lap is the same as the first - pass outside the rock at the mouth of West Cove, around the rock in Mackerel Cove, around G-7, around G-11, and back to West Cove. For the third mini-lap you'll then head straight out to G-7, and finally return to the finish in the small cove where you launched at the last rocky point on the shore to your right.
Naturally, the course may be changed if conditions warrant.
