[Editor: Here's a surfski story with a difference - a 300 mile race through the Florida Everglades.  Carter Johnson sent us the story of his epic three day race.]

The Watertribe Everglades challenge is a small boat race that takes you 300 miles down the Western coast of Florida from Tampa Bay to Key Largo. There are no mandatory stops and you may captain any small craft that you choose as well as pick from an infinite number of routes.  The course will take you thru endless channels, large bays, open ocean and swamps. The event is run by Steve Isaac otherwise known as "The Chief".
