17 ACC Outing - Sailing Race photo op ACC Outing - Sailing Race photo op September 17, 2017 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm Location: Lake Barrington Shores, 64 Old Barn Rd, Barrington, IL 60010, USA Description: On Sunday, September 17, our sailing club in Lake Barrington will be having their last sailing races of the season. This is your invitation to come out and photograph sailboats as they race on Lake Barrington. If the wind is calm, the sailors will be frustrated, but you can capture colorful sailboats with nice reflections on the water. If there is a good wind, you should see a little more action and perhaps a capsize. There is no cost, but there are some rules you must follow to attend. 1. You MUST E-mail me in advance at Bob@BobReynolds.Net or you won't be allowed access to the site. Send me an E-mail by Friday 9/15/17 so I can put you on the list. I'll limit the number of photographers, so if you wait until Friday, we may be at our limit. 2. The races will be held at Lake Barrington Shores, which is on Rt. 59, just North of Miller Road in Lake Barrington. (24405, Illinois Rt 59, Lake Barrington, IL 60010) 3. Once you enter Lake Barrington Shores, do not exceed 20 MPH. Yield to all pedestrians. Park only in designated parking areas. There is a parking lot at the marina. If it is full, there is another parking area across the street. Do NOT park on the roadway near the lake or marina. 4. You should plan to be there by 12:30 PM. That will give you time to park, walk to the marina and scope out the area. You can meet Judie Reynolds at the marina. She can give you some tips on what to watch for and where the best spots are. 5. Races start at 1 PM and the best vantage points are on the south end of the lake on the hiking trail. There are a lot of good spots to take sailing pictures. You may also find that the deck on top of the marina gives you a nice vantage point. 6. If you arrive early, you may bring a lunch or snacks to the beach, but do not bring any glass containers to the beach. DIRECTIONS To Lake Barrington Shores... From the town of Barrington, Lake Cook Rd and Rt 59., go North. Cross Cuba Rd., cross Rt. 22. The next light north is Miller Road. Just North of Miller Road is the entrance to Lake Barrington Shores on the West side of Rt 59. To the marina... When you enter Lake Barrington Shores, give the guard your name and my name...remember you must sign up in advance to be on the guard's list. You should receive a dash placard (parking pass) from the guard. Once past the guard, turn LEFT on Old Barn Rd. Drive carefully and stop at the stop signs. The road will curve around to the right and you will be able to see several parking lots on the left side of the road. Once the road curves, look on the right for a sign that says MARINA. If there is space at the marina parking lot, you may park there. If the lot is full, return to one of the parking lots; park and walk to the marina. Maps attached.
