Team Of One approaches the USA after 3 days of rowing the two narrow passages of the Inside Passage. After pulling within 10 miles of Team Wave Forager Dameon experienced the frustration of hitting the narrow Grenville Channel just a few hours behind fellow rower Wave Forager but missing the following current while Wave Forager cruised at 7 knots. This led to a gap that proved to be too much to close again as Wave Forager approaches Ketchikan while Dameon is 70 miles from finish. It seems inevitable that Wave Forager will be the first non-sail team to finish and Dameon second. Despite his fast start in the first week, kayaker Sea Smoke has little chance of catching Our Man from Belfast. Most likely Dameon will push on to the Alaska mainland tonight leaving 30 to 40 miles to finish on Saturday. Tune in tomorrow to watch streaming video of a finish to a great solo row…
