| Jan 10 Wild wind and waves made for an exciting adventure! We nearly caught a fish and Gunnar was taken away in a cruiser! 16.1 miles |
| Jan 11 9.6 miles from Coral Cove Park in Tequesta to Juno Park in Juno Beach. Wakes galore on the ICW. |
| Jan 12 Houseboats and HUGE boats. The ICW is an ever changing adventure. Great day - 21.8 miles. |
| Jan 13 The wakes continue! Rowing is slowed when we have to stop and ride out the waves made by the big, fast and often thoughtless!! Got to Boca Raton - 17.2 miles |
| Jan 14 23.2 miles - We made it past Fort Lauderdale! Rowing through wakes on all sides, the biggest ocean liners yet and we stayed miraculously dry! |

| Jan. 16 19.6 miles - we rowed across and out of the port of Miami and down the west side of Biscayne Bay. |
| Jan 17 We put the boat on the car and drove to the place where we stopped last year in Key Largo. The wind was SE and we rowed north to Jew Point on Card Sound. A beautiful 12.6 miles today. |
| Jan 18 We took a day to visit the Habitat homes in Homestead, do laundry, nap, and catch up on the daily logs for the past few days. The wind is strong, it is pouring, and thunderstorms are predicted - not a good day to be in an 18' open shell on Biscayne Bay. Hopefully tomorrow will be more calm, with NW winds... |

| Jan 20 We tried to row both from Sewall's Point and again in Oak Hill. It was howling winds from the north and whitecaps. We drove to Daytona Beach and will see what tomorrow brings. |
