Only First and Finish!

A wise old Waterman by the name of Mike Eaton told me once in his shop, " There is only First and Finish in paddleboarding". This could not be more true of the Catalina Classic. It starts on Catalina and ends at the Manhattan Beach Pier, 32 miles! A mutual friend, Chuck Camps just did his first Classic, it might be his only, but he did it. He made the cut off at the R10 bouy with 5 minutes to spare. He did not come in first, but he finished! Way to Go Chuck!

    Thanks for the kind words and it will certainly be my last unless a whole new posse wants to start training January 1st.

    What?! I got tired on the /boat ride/ to Catalina. I cannot imagine paddling that far. Your friend is a stallion!
