Recap - The Magnificent Seven

Your Cast of Characters


Pelican - On the move again after flying parts in to repair his Hobie Tandem pedal assisted kayak. Perseverance babe e; perseverance. Living in the moment and taking care of BID-NESS! Can we count his heroics, YES! Even performed a rescue of another WaterTriber. Proper name please, Sir Pelican.

.

CrazyRussian - I have only met him once, he has a great sense of humor. He's in his old trusty “The Ugly Duckling” – folding inflatable catamaran, taken a beating on the outside, been awakened by big waves and high wind, perilous surf landings, now that's adventure. Go CR!!

.

SnoreBringGator - In Kruger DreamCatcher with Balogh Rig has given back as much as he has been given, plagued with equipment issues, repairs on the fly and a complete retro fit in Grand Tours is now passing the time with RunningMouth. Banter, smack talk and a brush with greatness, (dinner with Winston Churchill), He is a hoot!!

.

Whitecaps - Paddling a Kruger Seawind with Balogh Rig - Been called every name in the book, the Animal, Toby The Terror, The Terminator, and really really fast. Hardcore comes to mind. He's full of sand and tough as nails. Freighters beware!

.

Wizard - Experimental minimum cruiser, 9' x 38" Where does one start; at the beginning I guess but this is only a short posting. There is nobody that I know that embraces the WaterTribe Mission more then Wizard. Always pushing the envelope of design, and always seems to run with the big dogs out front. Talk about sustainability. WOW

.

ManitouCruiser - Paddle sailing a Sea Wind #42 with a Balogh 38; Lives breathes expedition paddle sailing. States this is an unbelievable adventure, pushing hard, testing the limits of endurance and equipment. Manitou has taken it to the limit more then once on this adventure to stay with the lead pack.

.

RunningMouth - Kicking it with his Kruger Sea Wind with PAS and Balogh Rig. A trip of a life time, taking it all in and enjoying every second of the adventure. Wanted to know where the fire was with Toby, Mark and Wizard pushing so hard. His voyage across Biscayne Bay was epic, a wild one, never been so scared and invigorated all at the same time, Wanted to share his YouTube station with his vids - Click Here

.
Toby is Yul Brynner.
