"Jungle Jim" and "Kayak Vagabond" at CP2, Chokoloskee
Jungle Jim and Busted Rudder are tenacious competitors!
I was forced off the water near Naples when onshore winds gusted into "Victory at Sea" conditions, making it unsafe to continue in the darkness, surrounded by breaking waves far offshore. There is no "inshore" option at this point. I made a safe surf landing, and holed up for the night in the mangroves, but valuable paddle time was lost. I was up early, broke through the surf, and had a good run to Chokoloskee, after refilling water, onto Flamingo (a 28 hour, 108 mile run).
