The following is a post by Sharkchow on the WaterTribe forum regarding Pelican and his Hobie AI Tandem:

Pelican is now officially the Odysseus of the 2010 UFC. The only threat he hasn't faced and overcome is the cyclops. I suppose there is time for that too. But talk about spirit. Talk about determination. Most remarkable and most important, I know that if I saw Nick right now out there he'd be smiling. That's one of his secrets. He has reached the Traders Hill checkpoint. The big question in my mind is whether he follows Crazy Russian on the longer 60 mile portage or whether he stays on the St. Marys and attempt to endure the worst part of that upriver battle. Maybe the answer has revealed itself in the time it has taken me to write this.
This WaterTribe Ultimate Florida Challenge is a real horserace. 2 Krugers are in the lead, although "ManitouCruiser" has opened up a 45 mile lead over Whitecaps, there is still several hundred miles to go. Wizard, in his little cruiser, has kept the pace with the 2 Krugers--he has even perhaps closed the 40 mile gap on Whitecaps. How he does depends on the winds once they reach more open waters.
Crazy Russian and Pelican are in their own little race for 4th place. The conclusion still has to be determined.
