Just an update on the Bluenose Navex Rally.
I have changed the route I worked on last fall to meet the early date. It is either April 21 or 22 this year.
The start will be at the Windsor Curling Club 174 Gray Street, Windsor N.S. The finish at a restaurant in Garlands Crossing.
I will provide a route for both experienced and novice crews. If you are interested we put on a school for novice crews before the start. At present the Experienced crews have 220 km. and Novice 180 km.
What is needed? A car with a driver and a navigator. Some useful items are: a pencil; a clipboard; a watch that can be set; a calculator.
The route is very scenic with views of the bay of fundy and the Annapolis Valley.
Updates will be made here as we get closer.

One penalty point will be assessed for each minute early to a maximum of 15 minutes per checkpoint.

It is 30 minutes for the first three sections and 45 minutes for the rest of the rally, except 60 minutes at the final control. This time is accumulative from the start of the rally.
Each checkpoint will have car “0” section, distance and time available upon request.

At the checkpoint one of the crew, preferably the driver, will bring the score card back and the checkpoint crew will tell them the arrival time.

Great day on Saturday for the Bluenose Navigational Rally. Thank you to the organizing club (Bluenose Autosport), Rally Master (James Partridge) ,
the large team of volunteers, and the other competitors. It was great to see everyone.

Christopher Pye and I had a great day.

I'm looking forward to the next navigational rally. For those who have never tried it, its a great way to get out and see some of the countryside.
For those that have competed in the past, I'll throw out the challenge for you to come out and try to have more fun than me.
