Anybody have any idea what ever happened to the guy who wanted to
sponsor a kayak race along the Alaskan Coast? If I recall, the guy was
from Hawaii and the thread that started on this forum was late winter or
early spring, wasn't it? Just curious.....

First several of us contacted him and convinced him that a kayak race from
Kodiak to Ketchikan was sucidial. He then switched the race from Skagway to
Ketchikan, then suddenly postponed it for a year. I have not heard anything
since. I had his web site but my computer crashed and I lost it.

After a little googling, this appears to be the race you are looking
for:

http://www.kayakathon.com

Paul Harder is the promoter.

Past concerns for the race still look to be valid....
