This
event is the cornerstone of the annual Nanticoke Riverfest. It
is a tradition for some so you are encouraged to come out and
make it yours too. This year's float will begin at 9:30 a.m. The launchsite is at Benz Urology on Riverside Drive adjacent to
southbound Route 13 across from Seaford Ice Plant. Registration
will begin on site at 8:30 a.m. Shuttle service will be
available from Water Street to the launch site starting at 8
a.m. There is no return-shuttle service for cars left at the
launch site. Floaters are encouraged to park downtown and take
advantage of the pre-float shuttle service.

All floaters under the age of 16 must wear a life jacket. The
Seaford Volunteer Fire Department and Blades Volunteer Fire
Department will have divers and boats in the water for safety. A
limited number of tubes and lifejackets will be on sale the day
of the float-in. The cost of the float-in is $1. The take-out
point will be the canoe launch near Water Street. Come join the
fun and you can bring your most creative floatation device for
this event. |

| Tricks of the Trade |
-
Bring exact change. The cost to float is $1.
-
Register early and bring your own floating device. 100 inner
tubes will be available for sale on a first-come, first-serve
basis. Kent Sussex Tire will also be on hand to inflate bought
and brought tubes.
-
Children under the age of 16 must have a life jacket. ID’s will
be checked. If a child’s age is in question and does not have
ID, they will not be able to participate without a life jacket.
A limited number of life jackets will be available for sale on a
first-come, first-serve basis but participants are encouraged to
bring their own.
-
Wear a pair of shoes (water shoes are best) that you don’t mind
getting wet and muddy.
-
Don’t forget sunscreen.
-
Let
the current carry you – take your time and actually enjoy the
float.
-
Drink lots of water before you start if it’s a hot day.
- You
must have your own transportation back to the launch site after
the float.
