Can somebody tell me the logistics for boats, dock space and sling time for the derby? I'm imagining that the sling will be busy from the 5 am early start time for a couple of hours.

Even more chaotic might be the return trip. If everybody is coming in between noon and 2, won't the marina be a zoo?

I'm considering putting in at Shilshole, which would mean trying to tie up at a guest slip for the weigh-in... which sounds impossible!

Any tips would be appreciated.
