Fort Desoto | 3/5/2005 | I've been messing around long enough...it's time to finish a complete Challenge! |
CP1, 67 Miles Grande Tours | 3/6/2005 12:53:00 PM | Made good time paddle-sailing on Saturday on the outside route. Got a little exciting right before sundown. Went inside at Venice. Tide and headwinds against me on Sunday but was okay. |
CP2, 174 Miles Chokoloskee | 3/8/2005 10:50:00 PM | Had a wild night last night and to seek shelter. Today started off tough but worked into a good day. Sailing from Marco to Chokoloskee at night was crazy! |
CP3, 273 Miles Flamingo | 3/10/2005 11:20:00 PM | Yesterday was absolutely miserable with constant rain and cold. Had to put on dry suit to sleep because sleeping bag was wet. Today, though, was about perfect. |
Finish, 303 Miles Key Largo | 3/11/2005 6:21:00 PM | Florida Bay was beautiful and a highlight of the trip. Not too eventfull other than a little bushwacking through an overgrown pass at Russell Key. This was one hell of a race, and something I'll never forget. Thanks! |
