Where does the race start on Saturday?

Is there a charge for moorage at Roche Harbor and do we need to make a reservation?

No charge and no need to make a reservation.

Do we really need to have AIS displayed on a chart plotter? That's really difficult on a J105.

Yes, it's required and it's not difficult unless you wait until the last minute.

My fixed mount VHF is Standard Horizon GX2400 which does have an AIS receiver, that's the one I need to connect the gateway to (think it supports both NMEA versions). But since I don't actually have an NMEA bus (neither 183 nor 2000) can I plug in the gateway into the VHF directly?

Your GX2400 with AIS has a NMEA 0183 output that is compatible with the WiFi hotspot bridges.
