Thanks for the report, Harvey. Are you still having trouble with seeing the tracker screen? There's an "OK" button, center bottom, on the pop-up announcement that appears when I first bring up the tracker. Hitting it clears the pop-up. Sounds like you may be running into something else.
This morning (5:45 am PDT), three monohulls with crews of 4, 4, and 8 were leading the pack. PT Watercraft is solo, and has to take a break now and then, but he is really impressive! _________________ Bill, Formerly on NORO LIM

I am concerned about PT Watercraft--he has been in the same cover over 12 hours, and this does not fit with his plan.
Dock Rat was pushed aground, and I believe is effectively out of the race. Although possible to tow or push a 26 foot boat, with a rowing dinghy--it will not get you out of trouble once you are in a jam.
Team Torrant continues an impressive pace for a SUP--and is ahead of some of the multihulls. He has the endurance credentials. _________________ Bob Austin

Great live video about an hour ago from SLAG describing trying to deal with rapidly changing conditions in Johnstone Strait during the night - while avoiding fishing boats that don't use AIS. Currently peddling in fog with no wind. |

Yes, the problem is that the pop-up bottom is behind the "tool tray" or what ever it is called that has the Date and Time, Battery condition and the Microsoft icons for some of the installed programs - Word, Explorer, Google Chrome, Windows and some others, so I cannot get to the bottom of that stupid Logo patch. Thanks for asking.

Thank you Kevin. That worked. I just sent an email to the web support for R2AK about the problem. Now I can send them your fix. Mush appreciated.
I don't have Facebook so it takes me to a page of some basic pix and lists of stuff but no update, nothing about the race but a pix of his boat.
Bob, PT Watercraft is making 5.5 knots last time I checked, minutes ago.

Yep, PT watercraft took a really long rest--and although he is 30 miles behind the leaders, he is now moving at over 6 1/2 knots, (vs their 2 1/2 knots!)--should catch up in 6 hours (or so???)
It appears that Dock Rat is moving again, and is off the beach. Following his track, shows that he not only ran aground, but went in circles (large) several times...It will be interesting to see if he continues the "Cruise" or not.... |

for those who have facebook, here is a link to the Operation Torrent that Josh Collins is spearheading. It is a Veterans help program that is broadly inclusive but aimed at PTSD, TBI and Suicide prevention.
This trip to Alaska is part of his therapy. That is serious therapy.

Here is a link to a live feed camera at Cracroft Point. It is at the far northwest end of the point and there is an Orca observation point there that looks right into Robson Bight, a protected Orca reserve beach. Lots of beach rubbing goes on there. It is also a point where all the racers will have to go past. I have been buy here several times and talked to some of the observers who work with the Eagle Eye observation station which is farther south and way high up on the cliff. (If you are in the area, you can reach them on VHF chn 7. and the "EagleEye" is also a C-Dory owner.)
Here is the link:
https://explore.org/livecams/oceans/orcalab-cracroft-point-surface
Enjoy. (The sounds of the beach, the ravens and the bald eagles are all present, along with the whales blowing at times.. Also you can hear some soft voices, at times, and the excitement when the whales approach.)

Saw most of the racers while they squeezed between Victoria and Trail Island on Sunday at the end of my 80 mile fathers day weekend run. Impressive seeing the self-powered crews, considering how worn out I was after pulling crab pots and looking after the family in luxury.
One rower/sailer seemed to think the long way around trail island was the way to go and the SUP fellow was among the leaders. Hats off to each competitor and of course to your favorite Harvey, Great to learn about his cause. |

WOW, Monohulls are doing it. And Sail Like A Girl is screaming out there. What a race. And what endurance.
Yes, Team Operation Torrent message deserves to be shared.

The leaders have averaged 4.75 mi per hr so far, and with 140 or so to go, should finish in about 30 hours, or about 6 am Pacific Coast Daylight Saving Time, plus or minus a few hrs., Sunday morning.

Joe, thanks for doing the math and the prediction.
Here is another live camera link. This one is from Robson Bight, which is almost directly across from the Cracroft Point camera I posted earlier. It appears to be on a slow scan of the Strait, so one or the other should be able to pick up the boats as they traverse Johnston Strait. There should be lots of race traffic across these screens today.
https://explore.org/livecams/oceans/orcalab-robson-bight
I love the sounds of the water, eagles and the occasional boat. (Although power boats owned by John Q General Public are not allowed into the Bight itself -- Orca preserve -- you can hear them go by the opening. Robson Bight has a big rocky beach and is a popular whale rub beach.

Looks like Matt Pruis on the TRAK Kayak, (Which is an interesting vessel)< is going to “portage” the tidal flats between West and East Cracroft Islands. Lagoon Cove Marina is on the north end, Port Harvey Marine Resort is at the south end. Hope he got some Sticky Buns and Pizza.
