Its great...I posted something about it in one of the other areas of this site.  The lead boat, and F25 is kicking everybody.  Maybe he will finish in the next couple of days.

A boat to keep an eye on is Roger Mann's Hobie Tandem Island Tri.  He's a WaterTribe (Everglades Challenge) veteran and winner of his class, and is steadily moving up in the ranks.  Tonight he's in 5th or 6th place, and is one of the smallest boats in the race.

Not that he's going to WIN, but what he's doing is amazing, and also a testament to the Hobies with the Mirage pedal drive units.
