Team Of One continues his strategy of rowing long days without the need to make or break camp. Day 2 out of Victoria began at 4:30 and ended at 9 pm, covering another 45 miles. Dameon laid up short of Dodd’s Narrows to allow the tide to turn and took a nap, ending the day on Mistaken Island near several other paddlers. Dameon reports that while his speed is similar to the two-place boats, he can’t power through current or winds as effectively. Expect to see more stops during adverse conditions and rowing at odd hours when seas are favorable.
A disappointing note: Team Zen Again Dog, who travelled from the UK, pulled out after hurting his arm while making camp. This follows his withdrawal last year for injury.
