Interestingly I didn't know there could be a bad side for sighting. I think this means I will need to side stroke on my right so I can see the buoys. Thank you for all the suggestions, it really helps. Now all I have to do is patiently wait for registration to open up for next year's race
Yeah, if your back is to the buoys, it's hard to sight them
