A few WEEKS behind schedule...

Race Day 5: Goa to Hubly

Money raise for charity: $1,234

Distance Traveled: 1400 km

Fender Benders: 3

Near Death Experiences : 6

Delhi Bellies: 2, we can't stop ourselves from eating the delicious street food and are now paying the price… it seems indian food continues baking inside you and comes out spicier on the way out… ouch!

We wake in Goa, planning to spend a few days enjoying this legendary travel spot.  Only 2 steps out of our the random hammock I slept in with eyes still adjusting to the early morning glow, a friendly fisherman approaches me and asks, "you strong? can you help?" Before having a chance to answer he pulls me down the beach towards a dozen fishing boats coming onto shore.  The morning consists of helping pull the beached fishing vessels onto wooden blocks so they can be unloaded and the fish taken to market.  

As the rest of the team wakes up, they meet up with another team and realize our current pace lands us at our destination a few weeks behind schedule.  Armed with this new knowledge the teams decide to pack up early and hit the road hard.  From here on out we'll be pulling ultra marathon driving days (13+ hours per day) trying to get to the the NE coast of India by April 30th. 

Cheers,
Cedric
