I Spy… A Navigation Awareness Challenge

Objective:
Promote navigational awareness. Maine is a challenging place to cruise as there are many hazards and many navigational aids which must be observed.

Each Day (Day 2 - 6) along the route of the cruise, a set of 5 items will be selected by the FUGAMA from the myriad shown on the NOAA Charts of the area. This will be the Scoring Set for the day.

Game Rules:
There are 5 Types of observable navigational aids along each day’s cruise route:
1. Red Navigational Aid; buoy or marker
2. Green Navigational Aid; buoy or marker
3. White Navigational Aid; lighthouse or other prominent landmark (e.g, Portland Head Light)
4. Rock, Shoal or Small Island Navigational Hazard
5. Point or Headland Navigational Reference

Note: All Types of aids will be selected from those shown on NOAA charts of the area.

  • Each day, before the Harbor Start, the FUGAMA will arbitrarily and capriciously preselect the “Scoring Set”, one aid/entity of each type, for that day.
  • Each day participants will make their best guesses as to the “Scoring Set” and provide their submission to the FuGaMa bySMS (Text to 410-990-0060) or email to cruise@corinthinanscruise.org by 1600 each day.
  • Each day after 1600, the FuGaMa will score the responses: 1 point per answer that corresponds to the “Scoring Set”.
  • The most number of points will determine the daily winner.
  • The most number of points over the 5 days of the contest will determine the overall Cruise winner.
  • All decisions of the FUGAMA, particularly the arbitrary and capricious ones, while debatable -- will be final. Hah!!
  • Prizes will be awarded to each daily winner and the Cruise winner for the 5 contests.
