We're on day number 4 and ahead of schedule. We had planned on making it to St. Augustine tonight, but made it last night. This gives us only a few hours of paddling today. We'll be meeting up with one of the trail keepers, Jan, who will put us up for the night then paddle with us for a day or two. Things are going better than expected. For those of you that were worried.....Randy is still alive. For most of the trail from Ft. Clinch to St. Augustine we have been against the tide/current and against the wind, but we get up early and take our time so we're not over doing it, and we paddle until we find a place to camp, which hasn't been exactly easy on this leg. Low tides leave
3 mile mudflats to cross to get to solid land so my feet have had extensive mud treatments, but for some reason it's not improving the condition of my feet!?!?!? We've been attacked by manatees twice, we've been led down alligator trails that go nowhere but to alligators, go figure, and my favorite of all are the killer mosquito's, which we completely expected, have been the worst to this point. Not to bad. There should be a few photo's posted with this so look for them. We'll update again as soon as possible.
