PSA to **definitely** sign up for the official R2AK updates. They must have a team of comedians on staff because these daily updates truly bring the race, in vivid imagery through hilarious tales, to your device. It's easy to sign up and easy to unsubscribe (you won't want to), but you gotta do it.
Sign Up for the Daily Update Want the daily update hand-delivered to you at work? We won't do that, but we will send it straight to your inbox each day of the race. Sign up for the daily emails.

We're making an effort to build core strength prior to the Race To Alaska by working with our AWESOME personal trainer and the team. Strength training has been good practice for supporting each other with some friendly competition. Here's to hoping hours in the gym help prevent injuries during the race. AND, fun memories being on our alma mater's campus where we met!

Awesome weekend of sailing preparing for the 70 miles Bham to Sucia and lots of sites between. Current practice, sail changes, crew positioning, spinnaker douses and one epic spinnaker wipeout. The list got a bit longer, but nothing too serious. Thank you to our many sponsors that have so generously helped get us out on the water including .1st.aid

Anyone looking for an Alaskan adventure?
We might be looking for someone to bring our sailboat back from Kektchikan, AK. around July 1st or so. We're flexible on dates and would cover airfare and fuel south.
Probably needs to be 2+ people. Reach out with questions!

A beautiful, comprehensive first aid kit makes this nurse happy! Thank you .1st.aid for outfitting us with a bomber, well-designed kit that we'll hopefully never open on the Race To Alaska🤞

All hands on deck here with Edith fabricating some beautiful sunbrella lifeline cushions. No more stainless wire lifelines digging in our backs! ✅

Special thanks to Matt, Greg and the entire crew .creek.canvas in Bellingham for our new dodger and companionway cover. Hopefully they help keep our boat a little more comfortable on our way north!

Last night we had our first Bham based (+ team fly girls) social extravaganza and potluck. Did you know Bellingham has (8) R2AK teams with either pending or completed applications in??? Thats the highest per capita team count amongst the mix we think (prove us wrong). We love the community that this race creates and thx to Mel & John for hosting ❤️ .team.yes .masala
