Alaska 1000 Cruiser Navigation Contest

Folks,

Here is the latest report from the Alaska 1000 group. A note about Wanerian (the boat that dropped out), they were tag alongs and were not in the contest.

Regards,

Jim

Hi all

It looks like the fleet (less one) skipped the stop at Skull Cove and went all the way to Pruth Bay; the Park on Calvert and Hecate Islands; nearly 100 NM which would have been 10 to 13 hours for most. The water was still “relatively good” yesterday and the forecast was 7 to 10 feet today. Hopefully we will hear tomorrow how the standings are for the first half of the Nanaimo to Prince Rupert Race leg. Pruth Bay is their scheduled stop, lay day and beach BBQ.

From Dick Timmerman:

Hi Bob,
 
I checked my internet access here in Pruth Bay and am surprised to find success.  The whole Alaska fleet made the Queen Charlotte crossing in the best water most had seen.  Unfortunately the "Wandrian" felt it in their best interest to stay in the Broughtons and not  continue on to Alaska.  We passed up our Skull Cove stop as the water was so good we all felt it prudent to keep on going to Pruth Bay.  We will have our big barbeque here and  Don will announce the results so far.
 
It's been a great trip so far.  We look forward to you joining us.
 
See you soon. Dick
