Coast Guard A Team Wins Kayak Race

By JOLIE POLLARD

The Coast Guard A Team who won day one of the inaugural BTB Love Belize Sea Challenge, which wrapped up at the Point in Placencia Village, also came up on top at the end of the five-day race. Punta Gorda natives, James Alford, Godfrey Alford, Mark Alford and Daniel Gregorio successfully completed the kayak challenge, which began in Punta Gorda and ended in Corozal covering 218 miles of Belize's coast line. The entire race took the young men a total of 39 hours, 59 minutes and 14 seconds. The first seven hours and two minutes were spent paddling through calm waters from PG to Placencia with a teammate switch up in Monkey River. ▪
