Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Tempting.
Paddling down the Intracoastal Waterway near Sarasota, FL, during the first of our Everglades Shakedown paddles back in April 2013, we succumbed to the temptation of ice cream.
Perhaps this explained why we moved so slowly during that trip! So, during the Everglades Challenge itself, we removed all such temptation by paddling “outside”, through the Gulf.
And in a single day we traveled the distance that had previously taken us four days.
