UFC is so Exciting

It's just been too hard to think about posting on this past Everglades Challenge while the big race is ongoing, the 1200 mile Ultimate Florida Challenge.

I'm barely getting much done keeping watch of the WaterTribe Forum and Race Mapper. What an exciting race this has been.

They'll likely hold the 1200 miler again in 2014, hmmm.....

About SandyBottom

A senior with 2 kids grown and flown, married to Paul 30 years, a recently retired medical researcher, and was a sometime adventurer. Now, its ALL about the adventure. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and have a love of the outdoors, camping, the beach, and the ocean. I started paddling with white water in 1981 when I met my husband. My first real sea kayaking experience was actually on a sit-on-top in Kailua Bay on the Island of Oahu in 1987 while we were visiting family. Two children and years later, a chance opportunity to try sea kayaking again in 1996 resulted in a love and passion that provides me with fun, excitement, relaxation and/or exercise, and most of all, adventure. I’ve not stopped since.
