????? no rod holders???? keep paddling, Gordon!!!

I just talked to Lisa and he was 15 miles from Hermann. So I am guessing at around 5.6 mph he should be in Hermann around 8pm

He's still cooking along then. Thats a great stop for some wine. But I bet that's the last thing on his mind right now. One more night to make it through and he will be on the home stretch to the finish line. Wish I was closer to be there at the finish line to cheer him on and help drag him out of the boat and to the truck. I bet he will sleep all the way home. Keep us updated on his progress.

THANKS for the update. Good going Gordon.

Here is Gordon arriving in Herman around 8pm. After downing some protein drinks, medical care on his hands and back massage by Lisa he was back in and off into the sunset. His plan was to kayak 20 more miles tonight and find a place to sleep on a sand bar new Washington. Southpoint when you head to work tomorrow and you see a guy sleeping with his life vest on, wake him up and send him in the right direction. He should finish the race tomorrow in St Charles.

WTG Gordon!

Where is the finish line ?

Glad you got to meet up with him. Still on a good pace. Thanks for the update Mark.
