Day 5 - The Team Takes a Hit


View Larger Map

I am posting for the guys again tonight. There was some saddness today as David reported that he was unable to continue the trip due to a shoulder injury. He has had a torn rotator cuff for some time now and the team was aware that he might not be able to finish. It took a lot of guts for David to attempt this trip with his injury. While his shoulder may have given out the rest of his body and attitude is still strong. He has vowed to finish the trip after his shoulder is repaired. He completed over half the trip (appox. 160 miles). It is now left to Daniel alone to complete the trip.

Daniel reported via phone and text messages that he made camp at the Astor Bridge Marina this evening. He unexpectantly met a group from UNF at the Marina (Daniel is a recent UNF grad). He is planning a very early start for Saturday in order to cross Lake George before the NE winds pick up. He plans to make camp along the river about 4 miles north of the Ocklawaha River. - Jay
