Guestimating his arrival from his last shown SPOT location at Manatee Key at 7:50 PM, Deena and I stayed up and were there to greet AlexO as he came into Bay Cove circa 1 AM. He was exhausted and sore, but delighted to have finished this year against grueling odds. Yeah Alex! Paula, also exhausted from her daunting task as race manager (great job, lady!), heard our claps and cheers and came out to welcome him to the finish.

Thank you Kathy and Deena for waiting to see me making the finish line. It was great to hear you calling my name and cheering. The coaching I got from Kathy during our training trips in December helped me improve a lot on the many aspects involving the race. Paula did a great job as a race manager. At CP1 she gave me wings to fly towards Chokoloskee. Chief was following my progress and mot long after my arrival came to greet me. I will be back next year into the Challenge. I cannot wait to meet again those great paddlers and sailors.
