Last year I wrote a lot about this event, I thought “This is cool shit!” Turns out others thought the same, and it became a “thing”.<\/p>\n
The very most important thing to know is the url, r2ak.com. <\/p>\n
The premise is a race, by any means, from Port Townsend to Ketchikan, Alaska. No motors, no support crew. The winner gets $10,000, second place a set of steak knives. Those are the rules, so it’s a simple game to understand.<\/p>\n
No one has a tried an overland route, likely because it’s impossible, so by water is the way you go.<\/p>\n
Last year R2AK came on me while I was dry-camping at Pt Hudson at the marina. This year I’ll be in the same dry camping spot but I’ll see just the start of the race, not the prep. No matter, I’m only a few miles from the point, so I can follow along before I move up there.<\/p>\n
Expect a lot more from me on this over the next month or so…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
