The Longest Day (Day 16)
View from the Alaskan mainland, where we stopped around 5pm to eat some supper before rowing another 20 miles across Revillagigedo Channel
In a thrilling move Team Don't Tell Mom is making a mad dash into the US with their longest day of the race, ensuring a finish in Ketchikan tomorrow. On the water by 0530, our team is still rowing at 7 pm after already covering over 55 miles. Favorable conditions allowed consistently fast progress hour after hour, leaving rival rowing team Let's Row Maybe 20-25 miles back. LRM has pushed themselves 50 miles so far with no sign of stopping but DTM is not allowing the gap to close. With 3 hours of daylight remaining, how far will these rowers push themselves tonight with the lights of Ketchikan now only 30 miles off their bow?
