ECORA Hamptons Challenge. From Havens beach out around Cedar Point, past a couple of buoys and back. With a small current on the way out and against it on the way back. Very light winds, occasional boat wakes. About 75F and cloudy. I got a bit lost on the way back in and paddled about 0.35 miles further than most other people. The surfski was borrowed and paddled first time.
