The start of the SR 230 has been moved from Sat. to Sunday, Oct. 9th - Griffis Fish Camp. The Suwannee River Challenge (52 miles) and Marathon (26 miles) has been rescheduled for Oct. 22nd. Hopefully the hurricane will add some water to the river. Full refunds will be given to paddlers who cannot make the new dates. Good luck to everyone in the hurricane's path.

There's still time to sign up and do the Suwannee River Challenge (52 miles) or Marathon (26 miles). The Suwannee River 230 is over now and five of the six first finishers were Watertribers. It was a challenging race and I had fun doing it, so put it on your bucket list.

Congratulations Stripbuilder! It was a challenging adventure and race. Jammerjim and I had a great time as well. You were right! Your canoe was much more comfortable and capable in the low water than our watertribe loaded kayaks. After climbing out and wading for the 10th time, I was wishing that I had entered in a canoe like you did!
Congratulations to all who competed and finished the SR230. It was great to meet up with Watertribers I have not seen in a while. Hope you guys did not suffer too much damage to the bottom of your boats. Alot of draging your boat over the shallow areas just before the SR6 bridge and hidden rocks to hit just below White Springs.
Below is an animated map of my race.
