Strange Fish

So its 6.30am on safari day, I woke up dreaming that we had completed the race before it even got dark - somewhat unlikely but it would be nice. Last night saw the guys enter the kitchen to focus on our food, although i use the term loosely. Each paddler has been divvied up a large stash of ziplock bags, each containing 500 cals of nourishing powder which gets mixed with water, yummy, we are to aim for around 350 cals an hour, something like that. Anyhow, on that riveting note I am going to hand over Westy, our team captain, to post a few further updates during the safari. I am told that should he fail, you can also track us on the main event website. The picture here is of an Alligator Gar, I am told we are going to know these fellas fairly well by Sunday morning - apparently they get dazzled by the lights and frequently jump into boats. Fantastic.
