In his free time, Dr. Bailey is an avid kayaker (some may even call him "obsessed") and an instructor in both canoe and kayaking sports. He has completed the Everglades Challenge race more times than anyone else in his age category! (The Everglades Challenge is an expedition style adventure race for kayaks, canoes, and small boats. The distance is roughly 300 nautical miles. There is a time limit of 8 days or less.) He also enjoys running, but his orthopedic surgeon says that he is not allowed to run anymore, if he wants to keep his knees!
