❖ RACE TO ALASKA 2015 ❖

History in the making ☻ ☻ ☻
Here are some photos taken by Saltwater People on 3 June 2015, the afternoon before the 5:30 am start today from Port Townsend, WA.
      The crews are doing last minute adjustments to their rigging while talking to the on lookers milling around them. It was a friendly atmosphere.
      This writer did not awake at start time today; these photos are posted as the leaders are finishing the Port Townsend to Victoria leg. Some entrants will stop here, while others will be heading out for Alaska, trying to earn the $10,000 prize.
       For up to date tracking and information on the racers see R2AK.




Point Hudson, Port Townsend, WA.
