R2AK Day 8 - At the halfway mark

by Julie Angus

Screen shot of Colin. He's in the top left corner (Angus Rowboats) Colin has reached the halfway point to Ketchikan. He’s now anchored in a cove on Denny Island just a few miles south of the check in point at Bella Bella.

He’s had a good couple of days and has really been able to separate himself from the nearest small boat with a 100-mile lead. Plus, he’s gone through some of the most dangerous sections, including crossing from Vancouver Island to the mainland. He still has 350 miles to travel but he’s getting there.

There are still 19 boats racing to Alaska and all but one of these is behind Colin. So far he’s the first boat small boat and well as the first boat with 2 or fewer people. Let’s hope that Colin and the boat stay safe and he can maintain this pace.

Human Powered Achievements through the Northwest Passage

by Julie Angus

At Angus Rowboats, our passion for adventure naturally draws us to the mystique of the Northwest Passage – one of the world's most captivating and perilous waterways. Historically, this elusive passage promised a shorter shipping route, spurring early navigators to fervently chart and struggle through its icy intricacies.

The summer of 2023 saw three audacious teams, including one using our very own RowCruiser boats, aiming to be the first to traverse NW Passage solely by human power within a single season. As the season concludes, we've chronicled these attempts, and catalogued past human-powered endeavors to navigate the Northwest Passage.

A good boat is a versatile boat. Our wheelbarrow boat is good in and out of the water. It can be used to haul bags of concrete around the construction site, is a vehicle to go crabbing with the kids, or it can be transformed into an elegant bookcase.
