Just a passing thought, will probably come to my senses BUT . . .

Thinking of getting down to the Tampa area a few days earlier and topping off my training with a 3 day/60 mile trip (distance is negotiable). Monday AM through Wednesday PM, at sub-EC pace and leaving time to physically recover and perform any minor repairs before Saturday's Start.

Do you think this is too risky so close to the start?

Any ideas for a fun trip? How far up is the Peace River navigable?

Does anyone else have an interest?

Peace River is always a fun easy paddle. We're getting a lot of rain this dry season so the water levels should be pretty decent. USGS has several real time gages on the river you can reference. Canoe outpost in Arcadia can offer decent insight depending on who you talk to there.

If you wanted to make your way to Charlotte Harbor you could start at the put in above Arcadia. Arcadia to Charlotte Harbor is a 2 day paddle, depending on the current discharge and the tide when you get into the lower reach. Can't remember, but I think it was 40 to 50 miles for that leg. I'd need to reference GE.
