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 woman 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!
Congratulations Clare and Leigh!!
Amazing performance, great stamina and good thinking/tactics all the way.
I am honoured to have such a great team rowing the Savo!
PS. I think that team Don’t tell mom deserves the 10k dollar prize money and no one else.
Thank you Ruud!! What an amazing boat you’ve designed. Our trusty MURSU took care of us all along the way. And yeah, we would accept some prize money if it were offered! 🙂
Way to go!!!
Thanks for following Zak! I truly believe that all the good vibes from the tracker junkies reached us across the miles & sped us on our way.
So happy for you! I am still trying to digest that last push…flat out amazing and inspiring on many levels. Will be glad to see you back in PenBay!
Thanks Penny! Looking forward to maybe relaxing a bit & watching others row while I cox 🙂
Congratulations! Mursu still looks great after 1,500 miles…
