300 miles self-supported around the Florida peninsula by canoe, kayak, small sailboat.

It seems to take the winners and hard-chargers a few days to a week.

But then there was the year with the strong beam-reach wind when the cat-sailors finished in, like, 15 hours. Whoa!

Many of the boats are home-builts and self-designed. I just LOVE seeing what people come up with to try and crack the nut of having a good time, and a speedy time, at this event. It’s a real test of all-rounderism.
