Tamiami Trail "Triathlon" - Paddle

WHO: anyone and everyone
WHERE: Gulf Coast Visitor Center
TIME: 8:30AM

Lets finish off this "Triathlon" with a nice paddle to Sandfly Island and back across Chokoloskee Bay. To complete the canoe/kayak leg of the triathlon participants will start from the Gulf Coast Visitor Center located in Everglades City. Check in at the visitor center to get maps, directions, and up to date tide and weather information. Paddlers should wear closed toed shoes to protect their feet from cuts on oysters, rocks, and shells. Sun protection and extra water are recommended as well as insect repellant in the spring, summer, and fall. Participants may bring their own equipment, rent equipment at the visitor center or from other vendors within Everglades City. There is no entrance fee associated with the Gulf Coast Visitor Center. Bring your camera with fresh batteries. We will be going at a relaxed leisurely pace to take in the sights. Group photo and logbook signing at Sandfly Island
