Race 4 and 5 were completed with competition getting tighter than ever.
These are some words from Danny Ching, via Josh Crayton. Danny is traveling with an emerging paddler named Tyson Poppler (Dana Outrigger). Got stories to add? feel free to email me ([email protected]) for posting.
Had the 1st day of racing. Today started out foggy, then got sunny and hot, then windy, then thunder stormed. Luckily Tyson and I got to race in the windy conditions right as a thunder storm passed over and dumped on us.

Sunday 26th February dawned in Treasure Island, Florida with a cold front rolling through. All paddlers were woken at dawn with lightning and thunder preceding the cold front and the squall line.... many paddlers decided that this was a day to stay off the water. However, I had been monitoring Windguru.com and they accurately predicted that the rain would stop by 9am and that the weather would start clearing by start time at 10am. Bulls eye !!
