SUMMARY:Meet at the Beach: A gathering of kayak builders
DESCRIPTION:Meet at the Beach: A gathering of kayak builders \nAn annual gathering of kayak builders and like-minded individuals at Bluff Point State Park. This is a fun gathering which gives us all a chance to meet other builders and paddlers and talk shop a bit. People generously let others try out their boats. A total of about 50 boats show each year. It is great fun to see the variety of designs and techniques used. There is everything from very traditional skin-on-frame Greenland style kayaks to innovative new skin-on-frame hybrids\, as well as strip-built and stitch-and-glue. \nThe gathering is free and open to all. It is held in sheltered waters which are suitable for beginners and novice paddlers. A short paddle brings you to the open waters of Long Island Sound. People will start showing up around 10 a.m. and stay until they are tired. You do not need to bring a boat. The event happens rain or shine. \nIf you have any questions please post them to the Kayak Forum.

SUMMARY:The Texas 200
DESCRIPTION:The Eleventh Annual Texas 200 June 11 – 16\, 2018\nThe Texas 200 is a “Raid”-type event; that is\, it involves a scheduled gathering of small boats traveling more or less in company from Point A to Point B over a period of several days\, camping along the way.  The Texas 200 goes through the Laguna Madre and the bays of South Texas for five to six days and about 200 miles. Shallow draft boats will have options in terms of routes through the bays\, while deeper draft vessels will spend more time in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).  For any who may be unfamiliar with the ICW\, it follows the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from New Jersey to the southern tip of Texas\, providing a more or less protected waterway of canals and bays for commercial barge traffic\, an alternative to open ocean shipping. \nWhat the Texas 200 is:\n• A “rolling messabout” where people bring boats of all shapes and sizes and sail them on the south Texas coast.\n• A moving\, exhausting\, endurance test of boat\, captain\, and crew.\n• A chance to see areas of America rarely visited by man.\n• An exercise in planning\, preparation\, and problem solving.\n• A chance to make new friends and legends of the small boat world \nMore information: http://www.texas200.com/

SUMMARY:R2AK: Race to Alaska
DESCRIPTION:The inside passage to Alaska has been paddled by native canoes since time immemorial\, sailing craft for centuries\, and after someone found gold in the Klondike the route was jammed with steamboats full of prospectors elbowing each other out of the way for the promise of fortune. \nIt’s in the spirit of tradition\, exploration\, and the lawless self-reliance of the gold rush that Race to Alaska was born. R2AK is the first of its kind and North America’s longest human and wind powered race\, and currently the largest cash prize for a race of its kind. \nThe race has two stages:\nStage 1: The Proving Ground \nPort Townsend to Victoria BC (40 miles)\nR2AK  starts with an initial race across open water\, two sets of shipping lanes\, and an international border.  The first stage is designed as a qualifier for the full race and as a stand-alone 40 mile sprint for people who just want to put their toe in. Stage one winners get to bask in the glory for a full day and a half. \nStage 2: To the Bitter End \nVictoria\, BC to Ketchikan\, AK (710 miles)\nRacers start in Victoria at high noon on Sunday\, June 17\, and continue until they reach Ketchikan—or are tapped out by the sweep boat. Other than two waypoints along the way\, Seymour Narrows and Bella Bella\, there is no official course. To quote the bard\, You can go your own way. \nIf this sounds like your brand of whiskey\, R2AK is the race for you. \nThe application for 2018’s race is now open. You should do a couple things first: \n\nRead the Participant Qualification.\nRead the Rules.\n\nAnd we’ll close the doors to applications on April 15\, 2018. Apply now. \nNorthwest Maritime Center\, Port Townsend\, WA \nregistration@r2ak.com ~ https://r2ak.com/
