R2AK is the first boat race of its kind and North America’s longest human and wind powered race. Join Daniel Evans and learn about this exciting race from Port Townsend, Wash., to Ketchikan, Alaska. Entering its fifth year, some say it’s like the Iditarod, on a boat, with a chance of drowning, being run down by a freighter, or eaten by a grizzly bear. There are squalls, killer whales, tidal currents that run upwards of 20 miles an hour, and some of the most beautiful scenery on earth. Funded by Friends of the Freeland Library.
