Day 2: 0 miles. The wind and waves picked up and after Nate had a couple rough dumps it was declared a no-go day for safety concerns. Pending weather we are adjusting plans and route to try and optimize our time here. Fingers crossed we have a fair day tomorrow 🤞🏼

The team took the day to rest and explore the charming little town of Ennescorthy, including checking out our first castle

Day 1 comes to a close with Juliana coming it at 27 miles. She decided to skip night paddling in the scary cross currents around the upcoming points while Nate boldy took off into the night for a wild 9 more miles bringing the trip total to 36. Launch from Brittas Bay tomorrow morning to continue the fun.

Technical issues with live tracking should be sorted out tomorrow

What's going to be in our boats? A lot of gear! (And of course a few stickers) A little look at what we keep in our boats for daily paddling. Most of the equipment is for safety, emergency situations, thermoregulation, and paddler comfort.
PFD, helmet, spray skirt, paddle plus extra paddle, sunglasses, big dumb hat, throw/tow rope, paddle float bags, gloves, pogies, booties, water shoes, splash jacket, med kit, neoprene balaclava, buff, deck bag, waterproof phone case, webbing/tethers, carabiners, knife, whistle, and bilge pump.
On the water we will also have radios, GPS, lights for night paddling, water, and all the snacks.

Final gear check will be performed pre-launch. Tracking will go live when we hit the water (link in bio)
It's almost go time!
