Day 5 to Gerald Island

Dodging one of the many ferries we came across entering and leaving Nanaimo. Photo taken by race fan Leeanne Doyle from the cliffs of Gabriola Island.

Dameon and Leigh continue to push on to the Georgia Strait. After laying up waiting for the tide to turn prior to rowing through False Narrows, Backwards AF threaded their way through Nanaimo Harbor without getting run over by ferries, float planes, or log booms. Making nearly 40 miles this day they camped on a pebble beach on Gerald Island. Backwards AF is the only human-powered vessel left in the race.
