Because of restrictions on transiting BC waters, there is no Race to Alaska this year. Instead there is a 360 mile race around Puget Sound. Here's the link:

Very little wind so far. The paddlers are cleaning up.

The leaders are now 2/3 through the 360 mile course.

The paddlers/peddlers may just pull this off! BendRacing (two person kayak) has rounded the B’ham marker and is headed south – at 4+ mph, followed closely by Boogie Barge (multi hulled peddle power). Big Broderna (Trimaran sailboat) is now about 18 miles behind, still heading north towards the marker – doing just over 3 mph.

I can’t find any winds in the area above 5 knots. Of course, a few hours of good wind, and ball game over.

I cannot fathom the stamina of the guys in the two lead boats. It looks to me like they have averaged 4 mph for 240 miles. 60 hours without much rest. Incredible.

Winds are changing by the moment currently and so may the results. My heart goes out to the paddlers/peddlers.

Yup, the sailors have blown (so-to-speak) by the lead paddlers. (The lead peddlers dropped out - they had planned only to go through today, since the crew apparently has to be back at work tomorrow!)
