The Northwest Maritime Center’s new Seventy48 Race was a big hit. Over 100 boats competed! The first finisher paddled the course in less than 10 hours, finishing at around 3 Tuesday morning. Most of the coverage is on the Seventy48 Facebook page including lots of videos. Here’s one video I stole that just has to make everyone smile. The team is 8Oars. Congratulations to all who competed.
Don’t forget, R2AK starts tomorrow at around dawn and the famous Pre-Race Ruckus is tonight in Port Townsend. And if you missed it before, see the R2AK promo video here. It’s beyond funny.
