I'm waiting for the official word, but it looks like Alan (SOS) and his Mom (SandyBottom) have finished their sail/paddle/hike 1200 miles around Florida this afternoon. Alan custom built a tortured plywood trimaran they used for most of the trip. They switched to a two person canoe for the riverwork just north of Jacksonville. Walked/biked the canoe 40 miles and put back into a river to paddle all the way back to the Gulf Coast where they went back to the same point they started. I think they started sailing on 3/6 and just finished today on 3/26. What an incredible journey/accomplishment. Congrats dude and dude-ette!

Way to go Team B&B/ Kruger. I think this is Dawn's (Alan's Mom) second. First being all kayak.
Big congrats to both of them.
