Just an update to my earlier post..
I've started a blog to detail the refit and race prep. Still looking for a couple of folks that want to get involved/crew for the full race.

Crew Available for full race.

Hi there! I live in Ketchikan. I haven't been able to secure a boat team up here so I'm tossing my hat into the ring. My Name is Mac Dahl, I'm a 41 year old sailor with about 10-15 bankable years of experience. (Been sailing all my life, with some huge breaks)
I've done the inside passage twice from Sea-Ktn and sailed to Hawaii when I was younger. I have an S2 9.1 that I race every week in the summer.
I WANT TO DO R2AK!

CREW AVAILABLE
RETURN LEG(s)
BASED: olympia wa
CONTACT: 360 584 6158 text

Qualifications:
Owned two san juan 24, crew on harmony 22 and beneteau 35.5 in ssss. Two seasons experience.

Willing to ferry part or whole return leg with the following requirements

22 to 30+ foot keel boat
5 to 15 hp kicker
Roller head sail
Cabin (de-functified post race)
Case of raspberry pop tarts
Case of Guinness
TP

So, basically you'll have to send your kicker to Alaska. If I bring it home from Alaska, you buy my airline ticket. If you only need me for Vancouver Island, I'll get a ride to the top on my own. Open to options and variations on the return. May have a second or third or more crew if needed for one or more boats.

Whoooeee, me hearties!!

Crew Available
Second Stage (Victoria-Ketchikan)

I will be on the intrepid Supernauts team for the first leg of this crazy journey. The Supernauts will only go to Victoria sadly, and I'd like to ride this train all the way to Ketchikan! I could be a good pair with a crew member that can only do the first leg.

Things that you might want to know:

Seattle based, 28, of the lady variety, with lots of good stories to tell. I just got done rafting for 24 days in the Grand Canyon, so my rowing muscles are strong (calluses included)! I'm also a climber; my rope pulling and managing skills could come in handy. I don't have much open water sailing experience, but I used to sail dinghies on the Charles River in Boston, so I'm pretty much an expert. Most importantly I am not above bribing you with delicious food and good beer.

Or you can pm me on here. Stoked to help a team get to Alaska!!
