This being my first time in the race, I wouldn't try to say a certain leg as a whole is easier than another.. to us, each leg had its own obstacles.

The first leg to Miami made us very nervous much of the way constantly trying to avoid reefs.

Then there was the mentally and physically exhausting Cocoa Beach leg that endured late into the night.

And of course, the Jacksonville Jetty on the way to Fernadina seems to be considered the "nastiest obstacle in the whole race."

But obviously, the easiest legs for us were the ones where the wind blew steadily from start to finish. The conditions of the day determine the difficulty of the leg. Honestly the last leg to Tybee was the least eventful for my crew and I.
