Thanks Harvey. I did not realize the boat was equipped with some sort of "bicycle" propulsion. Hence, the "peddling" confused the hell out of me.
I looked the type of boat up and all the pics showed a sleek, mono-hull sailboat built for speed/racing. _________________ "We can go over there...behind the 'little one'....."

Sail Like A Girl had a crew of 7. They approached this in a very business like (serious) manner and spent months of training, beginning in January, several times a week. One of the crew had never sailed before, and that put off some perspective crew who did not join. For a shakedown, warm-up cruise the did the SwiftSure Race, which I think is run in February, just to see if they could really work together. Guess that worked.
Yup, still lots of "race" happening and several days before the Grim Sweeper starts heading north.

PT Watercraft, First solo finisher, Russell Brown on, has made it to Ketchikan!
And he slept every night.
Team Buckey is in Port Harvey with serious boat issues ( bent mast and Bow sprit) and questioning if there is a field fix.

Torrant the Stand Up Paddle Board is past Bella Bella/Shearwater, and right there with the Hobie Cat with two crew! Dock Rat is still sailing and just emerging form Johnston Straits--definitely the last of the "racers"... _________________ Bob Austin

I arrived at Port Harvey yesterday. It is on West Cracroft Island, N of Campbell River. Team Buckeye's little red sail boat is here but the guys are not. They were able, with help from several locals, get over to Vancouver Island, up to Port Hardy, get on the ferry to Prince Rupurt where there truck,trailer and outboard moter were, drive down to Vancouver, catch the ferry to Sidney (because there wasn't room on the one to Nanaimo), drive up the island to Kelsey Bay, catch a boat ride (again with help from a local who also happened to be an R2AK video volunteer) to Port Harvey, get their outboard onto their boat, and head back across Johnstone Strait last night. It would be about a 5 mile run, it was at near slack tide time, there was no wind (imagine that timing on Johnstone), and get that all done before dark. Wheeyou! Somebody's looking out for them. Last call over their shoulders as they left the dock was "See you, there is always next year."

Torrent has dropped out.
"This just in from Race Boss. Regrettably, Josh Collins of Team Torrent has exited the race. Earlier today he hit the help button on his private tracker and alerted his wife that he needed help, but his life wasn't threatened via a code worked out before racing. Fortunately, the crew filming a documentary on his journey were within five miles of Josh's location and have brought him aboard. And it was also relayed that a group of angel kayakers stayed with Josh until help arrived.
We have been told that his legs completely locked up and he may be having potential kidney issues as he felt like his body was no longer holding water. He is heading back to Shearwater to receive IV fluids.
His trip has been brutal. Our Race Boss, Daniel Evans, talked to him about it a couple days ago and will be airing that conversation tomorrow in the daily update podcast.
This race is no small thing, and Team Torrent left nothing on the table. Operation Torrent, we are all cheering for you It was one hell of a run."

Sorry to hear that Collins has dropped out. He is getting IV fluid in the Hospital in Bella Bella currently.
Dock Rat will probably fall to the "Grim Sweeper" which left Port Townsend July 1 at noon, and will make 75 miles a day. At his current pace, Dock Rat will not finish until August 8--Grim Sweeper will get to Ketchikan some time about July 12, depending weather etc.
Another great and interesting year! |

Sure sorry to hear Josh had medical trouble. He is one tough dude, and a gentleman in that. I have not looked at his nutritional situation, but it is some supplement type that he is primarily relying on. That plus the constant exposure to the salt water could be dehydrating.
As he left Victoria, he was telling some of us that one of his mentors taught him to "eat the frog first thing in the day, and everything gets better after that", then he stepped off the board over the water and compltely submerged himself in the cold chuck. He came up with a big smile and said, "OK, there goes the frog."
We parted with "Blessings brothers and stay strong." Back to you brother.
