SandyBottom said she stopped at the rangers' station to pick up permits for campsites in the Everglades National Park (ENP) and was looking forward to a hot shower.
What's with the green ..um... boxing mitts? Ginger (Taylor Stewart) says they are for protection from sunburn!
By 5:00pm these representatives of Team Kruger were back on the water and reached their first campsite in ENP by about 7:00pm Tuesday --having started this 4th day of the UFC at 3:00am.

Report from SB via Steve Earley:
"A short day 37 miles, the wind really beat us up. Predictions were for more of the same or worse. So we thought back country route might be fun. We started this 3am. But with no winds a mistake. Instead of advantage it's been a bit tidal and Yakmandu in Hobie AI wanted to hang with us. Slow going. But think we turned a 5 hr paddle into 10 hrs. But it's pretty cool in here."
