Ian's dog Pistol has been joining us on some scenic training paddles through the mangroves. Not sure who's having more fun...

The Countdown Begins

             With only six weeks left before the Everglades Challenge is underway, the Stand up for Miami team has kicked into intensive training mode. Sunrise paddles on the bay, a healthy diet and a comprehensive training regiment have us well on our way to winning the 280-mile challenge, meanwhile raising some much needed funds for inner city environmental education charities. Look forward to more info on our send-off fundraiser party at North Beach's Sandbar soon.

Foggy Morning.

The bay was glassy this morning, under a veil of fluffy fog. What an amazing way to start the day. Training is well underway for our 280 mile trek. Check back for some pro shots Friday, after local photog Ben Thacker joins us for our morning paddle.
