Yup. Another graybeard heard from. Anybody else following the R2AK sailboat/paddlecraft race now occurring up the Inside Passage? Began Friday in Port Townsend, WA, first leg to Victoria, BC. My fave, Team Soggy Beavers, is a six place outrigger canoe, outclassed by the multihull sailboats, but the lead paddlecraft. Race ends in Ketchikan. Front end of the mob is near Seymour Narrows. Field winnowed from ca. 50 down to about 30, with most of the attrition crossing the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Mike Higgins, a true one place kayak, is Team Mikes Kayak, still in the game, somewhere near Nanaimo. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR*************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
