at the starting line


From Tom, at the Everglades Challenge starting line, Fort DeSoto State Park.  That's Tom, below left.    Interesting to look at the gear in the boat.  A small solar panel, a couple solar powered lights, a SPOT tracking device, clamps, sponge.  From a text earlier in the week here's the weight of his gear:  

Sleep system -15 lbs
Food/cook system - 18 lbs
Accessories - 18 lbs
Clothes - 8
Water - 15

To all - safe trip, have fun!
