Our team arrived safely in Victoria today after a 4.5 hour crossing from Dungeness Spit in much nicer conditions than the past two days. Leigh reports that “it was very smooth, though a lot of current in places.” A 1.5 hour delay at Canadian Customs put them in way ahead of the cutoff time. Of note, the other two teams of women rowers (Let’s Row Maybe and Interstice) also passed the test of Juan De Fuca. With the Proving Grounds Stage 1 complete, the race really starts now. For more details on the stay on Dungeness Spit, see today’s update on the R2AK website which also includes a nice picture of Clare in front of the lighthouse.
