Thetideishigh2021 Posted June 16 #1 Share Posted June 16 There’s a small boat race from Victoria to Ketchikan on Jun 12 going up the inside passage. There looks to be at least 20 teams competing for a $10kUSD prize. Non motorized craft only, if you’re heading to Alaska this week keep an eye out!

Thetideishigh2021 Posted June 16 Author #4 Share Posted June 16 If that, It’s non motorized craft: rowing, sailing or pedaling only and some of the craft are small. Good luck to them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetideishigh2021 Posted June 18 Author #10 Share Posted June 18 Thanks for the update, i suppose first place is already decided as it’s Tuesday morning now. Congratulations to the winner and good luck to all still racing ! Coastal BC has had really bad weather since last Friday: rain, wind and unseasonably cold coming down from Alaska . It’s warming up now so the remaining boats may have a slightly easier time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcummin Posted June 18 #11 Share Posted June 18 From the Ketchikan Daily News: "The Race to Alaska's first-place winning team Malolo crossed the finish line at 2:37 p.m. Monday at Thomas Basin, and were greeted by more than two dozen fans of the 750-mile engineless race from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan."
