Webmaster's Note/Event Organizer Mary Potter:

Kerm Ketchum from Team Alaska called around 4 PM and said the team was pulling out at mile 707. The weather was quite bad at that time, thunder, lightening, heavy winds and rain. Talk about going out in style :-) Tony and Will will head down to the celebration in New Orleans. Teams will stay at the Marriot Hotel in New Orleans, courtesy of the Marriot and will receive a no or very low cost celebration meal at the Hard Rock Cafe in New Orleans.

Andrew M. Gribble called from Team Double Helix to say they had just crossed the finish line! The road crew was on board the Parrish Boat (lined up by Don Keller, official race time keeper) and Andrew said as the paddlers crossed the line the sirens blared and everyone cheered! Thanks much to the folks who operate and run the Parrish Boat for their criticial donation of time, crew and ship for our very tired teams as they crossed the finish line! Clark Eid (husband, and paddler for Team Double Helix) called about 10 minutes later to say "We're done!"
