Start at the pier by the boat ramp at Pope's Landing.

Go out the river to the Kernwood Bridge (approx 1.7 miles), go through the center span.

Continue across the open bay within the boating channel (which swings to the right) to the combined Beverly-Salem railroad and car road bridges (approx 2.3 miles from the start), go through the right-center span of both bridges.  Turn counterclockwise on the green channel buoy GC13 roughly 0.35 miles after going under the bridge (before reaching the point with the condos, just to the left of a stone marker with a green flag G13A - see below).  Retrace your course back to the start.

You are finished when you pass the front edge of the starting pier.
