DCIM100GOPRO

Well, this year is again as all years very interesting. And I am not talking about the freaking election. I am talking about supping!! This was/is a great year for firsts!! I was lucky with good weather and not that bad winds, heck, I even had a bit of a tail wind coming back on the west side of the island! Awesome!! Finishing that race  I decided that it was time to step it up and do something longer. After looking at what events are long I realized, there is nothing longer in a true race format than Bowen, so…  The idea was to do 55k!! All around green lake and I would raise some money for charity. I did both in the end, raised money for wag and completed the 55k in 9:57 minutes!! Yup!! No swell assist or wind to really speak of to help us, which is ok, sorta. I did it. Now, time for some longer ones. I am planning some cool things in the future and will keep you sort of up to date! cheers and go paddle!!
