I only discovered the event was taking place because my cottage began shaking.
They
were very cool, but it was more of a parade than "a race", and were quite distant from "your" side of Rattlesnake Island. To watch, I chose NOT to anchor, but floated next to a one anchored boat and a Lake amphibian aircraft.

The very best vantage point is where I snapped a few pictures four years ago—stopped—and right in the middle of 'em!
I had taken my smallest powerboat, and elected to row the ¼-mile home for the exercise. The MP made a stop—
of me!

I'd agree. Those who speak of "rampant" sales of properties around the lake need to look again at those properties most effected by the SL.
Right in the middle of the lake—Rattlesnake Island—has many
fewer "For Sale" signs than in previous years.
