[Paddlewise] Paddlewise, race and SSTIKS

I knew this was starting. Thanks for the update.
 
    On another note, SSTIKS (South Sound Traditional Kayak  Symposium) 
starts this Friday June 12 at Twanoh State Park on Hood Canal in  Washington 
State. No registration at the event, it's full, but always fun to  watch the 
kids classes.

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.
