Day 74 (Payphone update from Jake) 02/17/2010
Daily stats Start: 6:40 AM - Highland Beach (23 miles SE of Chokoloskee, FL) Finish: 4:20 PM – Flamingo, Everglades National Park Time: 9:40 Daily dist: 38 miles Total dist: 2,110 miles Companions: None Notes: Partly cloudy. Sheltered water. Jake called me tonight (actually I had to call him at a payphone) from Flamingo Florida. He had a great day paddling the inside route on the Wilderness Waterway. Jake expects to reach Key Largo tomorrow and is trying to plan the next few days around the wind and weather. Jake is very excited about catching up with friends in Ft. Lauderdale. Right now the plan is for tomorrow to be the last day of the “Gulf Leg” and the start of the “Atlantic Leg” of Jake’s journey. Stay tuned for further updates once Jake reaches “civilization”.

Carolyn's Queen Sneaks, I mean Queen Snakes could be endangered, so don't go messin' with them. Happy trails. Or in your case, Jake, Happy waves. Lois, with a big hug from the La Crosse, Wi supporters. Lyn Stachovak Wed, 17 Feb 2010 9:56:29 pm OK people enough about the Queen Sneakes already!!!! I've explained that I'm not the best typist in the world, but then again, I'm not the best speller either. In a way, it's kind of nice to be able to explain everything away by just saying I don't know how to type. My dirty little secret is out. Teresa B Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:00:30 pm At least it wasn't Queen Sneakers! They're more dangerous!

Brad Thu, 18 Feb 2010 2:06:20 pm Now for a few months of paddling uphill Becky Thu, 18 Feb 2010 2:37:50 pm Jake give my brothers, Heather and my nephews a big hug for me. And Neil you better get out there and paddle with Jake for an overnighter! Thu, 18 Feb 2010 5:39:23 pm Jake, you should go eat at Mrs. Mac's Kitchen in Key Largo this evening. There's no better reward for completing your Gulf leg! Cousin Alice Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:32:59 pm Hey Jake! Leave a Reply |
