Could a Goat Island Skiff complete the Everglades Challenge
Chuck from Duckworks sent me a short message after he and Gary Blankenship finished the Everglades Challenge this year. It is a 300 mile event in Florida. It works through a series of checkpoints that close at specific times and you can pace or race.

Mike, when is a Goat going to go in the Everglades Challenge
I know a couple of the East Coast Goat Owners have talked about doing the Challenge.
It is much more an endurance event than a competition.
This video by Gary of their experience this year might help give an idea of the feeling of keeping a boat going for four days plus.

Probably the best way is to do it in a relaxed time the first time (or maybe every time) :)
