nice work MM - sorry to have left you guys out in the cold but glad someone took the initiative to get the Ed involved and some front page love. Maybe next year...i do want IN on this one.


Next year is a year of the big one. The Ultimate Florida Challenge. 1200 miles. Full circumnavigation of Florida.

It starts at the same time as EC, After Key Largo challengers will continue along east coast of Florida to Georgia border. Then they sail, paddle, peddle, row, push and tow their boats up St. Marys river, then portage boats 40 miles to Suwanee river, go down to West Coast of Florida and finish where they started, in Tampa Bay. Best time so far is 19 days...
There is an excellent book written by record holder, watertriber SharkChow

He made it through half of the Crocodile Dragover, but I'm guessing the predicted wind shift to the E got him. You can't tack Hobiecat up a 50' wide channel, can you? He's probably headed towards Jimmie Channel which will have a better angle to sail through against an E wind.

Question is where is Izatarock?

Team SambaSailor to finish in the next half hour or so.


Yep, channels agains wind can be brutal.

I can't believe Izatarock is sleeping. His SPOT stop working at 7.20. I can imagine 2 hours of sleep at daytime, just to get enougth juice into batteries for 30 miles, but not 6 hours. He must be somewhere in Florida Bay, and, probably near finish.

Was it wind shift or just not enough depth for Hobie 16? CrazyLugan retraced his steps and went south almost from the end of Crocodile Dragover Pass

SambaSailor and Sailsalot are taking the most direct route across FL Bay through the Crocodile Dragover.

Ridgerunner Doug Cameron reported Izatarock is resting, not moving.


He reports:" It looks like Izararock is getting some sleep and may miss it" and I guess that he bases it on SPOT observation. I doubt that expirienced Watertriber would rest at daytime with favorable winds. Well, we will see soon :)
