Heath Daughtry runs the small boat division at Yellowfin Yachts. He is responsible for 4 boat models from 17-26 feet. His attention to detail has improved the quality of our boats over the years. Heath also started the Skiff Challenge which is a 1300 mile race around the State of Florida which has grown into a fundraiser and awareness generator for the water issues affecting the State of Florida. Today, Captains for Clean Water runs the race and is bringing additional attention to the race and the issues. Last year, Heath won the race with his partner Chase Daniels (Hear that podcast here). However, this year, that team is breaking up and Heath has asked me to be his partner in the race. We announce my participation and discuss preparation for this endurance event. 1300 miles in a skiff is going to be difficult no matter what the weather is and both Heath and I are preparing mentally as well as physically for the race. Past Skiff Challenges have been motivation for Heath to embrace the physical culture and create habits that have led to him losing 40 pounds and being in fantastic shape. I shared a workout with him and his trainer Ray Gardiner at FitCrew in Bradenton before the podcast.
