“Sail, Row or Paddle, but no Motor no Support”

One of the greatest sea adventures of our time is about to begin, the 3rd annual Race to Alaska. Stage 1 is the shakedown sprint from Port Townsend, Washington to Victoria, British Columbia that starts today, June 8th. Stage 2, begins on June 11th.

Team Ain’t Brain Surgery

The 750 mile trek takes competitors up the inside passage through some of the most beautiful and stunning terrain in the world from Victoria BC to Ketchikan Alaska. Along the way they will face ragging currents through narrow channels, rain, fog, high winds, no winds and the open Pacific Ocean before reaching Ketchikan.
