Tracker map info: there are two tracker maps available. All competitors must carry a SPOT or InReach tracker. If one map appears to be down, try the other one.
Click on “Watertribe Everglades Challenge 2023” under “Now Racing”
Click on the map
Find my name (MolaMola) or can filter by number (3845)
Names in black are active trackers, red indicates inactive (turned off, probably camping/resting, or tracker not working)
Raceowl does not show tracks, just current positions. It will show the whole fleet if you don’t filter, which can be cool to watch everyone spread out down the coast.
Congratulations! What a ride/adventure that must have been. It was fun following you on a little map on my phones. Looking forward to some tales and pics.
I’m alive! Here are some photos from the race. I’ll try to write up a summary of my thoughts soon. This is not an easy event to describe - one adjective doesn’t even come close to adequately covering the range of experiences you encounter out there. We were very lucky with the weather this year and the incredibly high finish rate reflects that (only 4-5 competitors who actually started didn’t finish; there were another 8-10 who were registered who didn’t start for various reasons).
And apologies to anyone who was tracking me - my Spot tracker, which has worked flawlessly for dozens of training paddles, decided not to work for most of the race.
Plan B Start at the Manasota bridge where I bailed out last year.
