After last night’s post, Dameon pressed on for 13 more miles into the late evening, sleeping in until 7 this morning. Since then he has made over 30 miles, attempting to time the tidal currents in the narrow passage next to Princess Royal Island. Interesting to note that in the past 3 days Team Of One has closed the gap between Wave Forager, another solo rower, and himself. Wave Forager for most of the race has been around 30 miles ahead but Dameon has closed within 10 miles at time. While Dameon might not gauge his success by passing Wave Forager, one can’t be disinterested in the progress of the two teams leading all human-powered teams. Also, Solveig, a two person rowing/sailing boat, has made the interesting choice to venture out along Queen Charlotte Sound where the little boats generally don’t play, but perhaps sees a chance to employ the sail. Lastly, Sea Smoke, a kayaker, has turned back from the Passage and appears to be heading backward to open water.
Will Dameon continue to close on Wave Forager? Will he time the tides in the Passage to derive a well-deserved break? Tomorrow will tell.
