From Fishman:
"Long day started around 9 AM, made it to CP1 at about 6 AM today. It was all pedaling; the winds were uncooperative. Stopped at Dog Island in Boca Grande, met up with Dave Schmidt. Got about 2 hours of sleep this afternoon; noon loud and noisy island but the rest did me good. Waiting for the wind to shift more favorable. Managed to take some picture at the start, big ships, some boats, night sky,sunrise in stump pass."
