We’re launching this website to share our love of “adventure rowing,” and also to keep people updated on our status as we prepare for the biggest adventure of our lives to date: the Race to Alaska! (aka, the R2AK)
The R2AK begins June 3, 2019 at 5 am in Port Townsend, WA. We have A LOT to do between now and then…pretty much every spare moment between now and then will be devoted to finishing the boat, preparing our food and other supplies, and planning our route and strategies for covering the 750 miles as quickly as possible. (Even if it is mainly a sailing race and we have no chance of winning, we’re still very much in a “race” mentality.) We’ll post updates on this blog so you can follow us through the process of preparing for this 750-mile self-supported row.
Thanks for your interest! Please get in touch if you have questions, comments, and most importantly, words of advice for rowing the Inside Passage!

Well, now I know why you needed that barn! Have a great time! As an armchair traveler, I’ll thoroughly enjoy following you!
Yep, we quickly filled the entire first floor of the giant barn with row boats…plus had to leave one outside over the winter that didn’t fit. Need to rig up an elaborate pulley system to make use of all 3 stories of barn.
