George Bass Surfboat Marathon 2016 organiser Andrew Edmunds thanked the community.
“Organisers of the George Bass Marathon would like to thank the maintenance staff of Moruya High School for their assistance to the competitors and supporters camping at the grounds, along with the Moruya Basketball club, who provided some shelter from the deluge and Eurobodalla Shire Council, who provided a tractor to help boats and vehicles from the campsite,” Mr Edmunds said.
“The Moruya Laundromat also stayed open to help rowers get some of their clothing dry.
“This community support is fantastic and we are all very appreciative of it.
“After a long and difficult day and night without your assistance this year's event would have been even more difficult on day 2.”
Surfboat crews from lifesaving clubs began competing on Sunday in the week-long event from Batemans Bay to Eden.
