Teams called in to Safety Officer between 5 and 7 AM
Updates/Comments 5-7 AM calls from Mary Potter, Webmaster and Event Organizer:
Team Alaska - Kerm called to say everyone was wet, the gear and sleeping bags were wet and all were grumpy, except for Kerm of course, who says he enjoys it all :-) Kerm says they are at Commerce at Mile 40 at 6:50 AM. Double Helix - Mile 440, Vicksburg at 7 ish PM. Support Crew is at 440, paddlers are north of them with the zodiac support following. Everyone is ok, Andrew says they slept in the car at the boat ramp.....something about a fishing tournament and bass boats and some one on a loud speaker blaring various messages to the tournament boats. I suspect the road crew did not get too much sleep after 3 or so..... Team Kruger - Stan called from Natchez, Louisiana, mile 364 around 7 ish and expecting the paddlers any minute. He last saw them at mile 396 at 1:30 AM. Everyone is fine, and Stan says the current has slowed way way down. Stan later called at 10:30 saying the paddlers had arrived at 364.
