There will be Marine Police on the water and officers on the land to direct you to the nearest first-aid station. An ambulance will be nearby for emergency situations.

Where can I launch my boat?
Go to www.outdooralabama.com for a listing of public boat ramps on Lake Martin. The Kowaliga boat ramp is the closest ramp to the concert. We expect a lot of congestion on July 24 & 25 at this ramp. We have been issued a permit to restrict parking at the Kowaliga ramp on July 24 & 25 to allow for better access to the ramp. We are providing additional parking at Lake Martin Amphitheater with shuttle service to a pick up area. We would also like to recommend Wind Creek State Park. It is a little further north but it has ample parking.

Will food and drinks be available?
Food and drinks will be available for purchase at Sinclair's restaurant and a variety of vendors on Kowaliga peninsula. Shuttle boats will be onsite.

When will I be able to moor my boat at Kowaliga Bay?
Mooring lines will be available on Friday, July 24, starting at 2:00 pm. You can moor your boat overnight on Friday and/or Saturday, but do so at your own risk. Shuttles will be running form 2pm to 8pm on Friday and 9am to 7 pm on Saturday from Sinclair's and there will be a limited amount of mooring lines available and will be on a first come basis. There will not be a charge for mooring overnight on Friday or Saturday. Contact Terri Blackmon at 256-212-1479 for more information.

How will the mooring process work?
Starting at 2:00 PM on Friday July 24 mooring lines will be available to moor your boat. We will have parking attendants on Sea-Doos that will help direct the boats. Most boats except pontoon boats will be moored at the stern. You will need a clip or a rope to moor. We also recommend that you throw an anchor on the opposite end and have plenty of bumpers. Anyone using the mooring lines will be asked to sign a release and waiver of liability. You must be 19 to sign. You can leave your boat overnight and take a shuttle boat back to land. When you come back the next day, you can park at the Amphitheater and we will provide a land shuttle to Kowaliga and a water shuttle to your boat. Kowaliga can not be accessed by land unless you have credentials. If you leave your boat on Friday, the shuttle drivers will ask you how many credentials you will need and they will provide as many as you need. This will be your only way to get back to your boat. Marine Police will be on the water round the clock during this time for your protection and safety.

Does registering my boat guarantee a mooring spot?
You do not have to register to attend the event and if you register it does not guarantee a spot on the mooring line. The moorings will be available at 2:00 PM on Friday, July 24, and it will be on a first come basis. The only exception will be row 1 which will be limited to Sea Rays.

Can I bring my Sea-Doo and use as a shuttle?
Yes, you can do this. We ask that you park your Sea-Doo horizontal to the back of the boat and no roamin
