The Wiggins pass exit was a great video shot. We enjoyed watching you and your dad on the tracking map. Congrats on a great finish.

Day 5 - Part 1: The Nightmare
Ironically, "The Nightmare" was by far my favorite part of the event... After struggling through last year in the middle of the night, our experience this year was amazing... filtered sunlight, no wind, chirping birds...

By my GPS track, the distance from Broad River Chickee (just before the entrance) to Harney River Chickee (the end) is 9 miles. About 3 of those miles are wide open easy paddling, most of the rest are slower, careful paddling, and a few parts are "put down the paddle and pull on branches."
It took us about 3 hours to get through. We timed the tides pretty well, we started about an hour before high tide at the entrance, so we had plenty of water for clear paddling. I have seen (and experienced) going through at low tide and it is a whole different story.
Last year we went through after dark, closer to low tide, in a less maneuverable boat, and it took us about 8 hours, it really was a "nightmare!"
YMMV

The playlist has been published to the archives. Great fun watching them and I think the videos of the Nightmare might be the best yet.
