Yesterday Dameon pushed from Foster Island toward Cape Caution on a course that could have been drawn with a ruler. While other human-powered craft hugged the shorelines Team Of One went straight down the middle of Queen Charlotte Sound. The goal was to round Cape Caution but fighting the steady headwind made Dameon pull up in Skull Cove Friday evening in prep for today’s crossing. Today’s row goes as planned, with the most exposed crossing of the race, Cape Caution, already in the rear view mirror well before lunch. The other paddlers and rowers in the race have progressed as a group spread over 40 miles, with Wave Forager well in front.
Yesterdays straight forward row was enlivened by an unexpected hitchhiker; a small sea bird that Dameon scooped up sputtering in the sea. It rode with him for two hours, hopped on his shoulder to dry its wings, then flew away. May it and Dameon find fair winds in their journeys.
