Swim in the Gulf ends Gary Hirsch's EC ..  ...  Smallwood Store  ...  (5 March 14) Gary
Hirsch (seen at Killbear 2013 above), our Wayfarer in the 2014
Everglades Challenge, has had to abandon his quest after a misadventure
that resulted in a muscle-pull around 9 PM on Monday night as Gary was
approaching the Smallwood Store (above) in gathering darkness.
It could have been much worse: An unexpected gybe knocked Gary out of W4573 and only his presence of mind in grabbing a line as he left the premises, saved his day since the tiller was set to steer straight. But Gary's problems were not done: "It's a lot harder to climb back into a boat when it is not full of water," Gary points out. Ultimately Gary went aft to the lowest point of the boat and after some struggle, managed to lever himself back aboard with a bit of help from his thighs which he clamped around his rudder. All this activity resulted strained and pulled back muscles and being solo, Gary felt he had to pack it in. Several hours later Gary made it to the Store where he was now faced with trying to get back to his trailer and car in St. Petes from the middle of nowhere. But that will be a story for Gary to tell us in a planned log. Suffice it to say that at mid-afternoon today, Gary, car and boat were near Macon, Georgia and expecting to reach his home on Lake Michigan some time tomorrow (Thursday).
