    Everglades Challenge: An Insane Small-Boat Race Down Florida
    The gun sounds at 0700 and immediately dozens of crews, both single- and doublehanded, begin dragging their boats across the beach into the water. Welcome to the start of the annual Everglades Challenge, the only event I’ve sailed where the SI’s contain the following warning: If you are not an expert paddler and/or sailor, do not enter this race. Even if you are a well-prepared expert you may DIE—yes, you may DIE…
    A friend of mine took part in this race and gave me this paddle to sell.  It measures 24 inches in length and is marked on the front Water Tribe with a totem Raven design and also marked "EVERGLADES CHALLENGE, Fort Desoto to Key Largo - 300 miles".  GREAT LITTLE DISPLAY ITEM FOR A PADDLE COLLECTOR.
