Journey's End

Leigh and Clare finished the Race To Alaska in dramatic fashion on 2 July, rowing most of the night to arrive in Ketchikan at 7 in the morning, the first female rowing crew to finish the R2AK. Clare's wife Julie surprised the team by showing up in a support boat as they neared the harbor. Video on Instagram shows the sisters looking lively despite rowing the last 95 miles in less than 27 hours. Leigh said that having another female crew keeping pace with them added a new dimension to the race. Team Let's Row Maybe camped 40 miles short of Ketchikan and would finish later that day. Clare said the race was a great adventure and she's never doing it again.
Congratulations to team Let's Row Maybe for a strong finish in a 750 mile row!
