[Scott Baste]

Hi my name is Scott Baste.  I own a paddleboard/kayak rental/retail shop in Tavernier, FL. (PADDLE! the Florida Keys)   I mostly explore via stand up paddleboard.  I've completed 5 crossings from the keys to Flamingo as day trips usually with 1 or 2 others but as many as 7 and also solo once.  I really enjoy the Everglades and I'm just getting started with exploring and camping overnights.  I have all my gear and am getting ready to leave on 11/20 from Flamingo and go outside to the cape and back through Shark River, Joe River, etc.  I'm planning on camping at NW Cape and South Joe.  I'm planning on adjusting the route based upon the predicted weather and conditions.  Anyone want to come along?  I'm planning on shoving off around 9 am Friday morning.  approx 20 miles to NW cape and then 15 or so on second day and then 15 or so to finish up on Sunday.
