A HUGE thank you to Starpath Nav for all our pre-race navigation preparation. We owe David Burch and his team a great deal for their tireless effort in creating all our routes and preparing us to make smart tactical decisions in even the most challenging times of this race. We couldn't have done it without them!
Mad Dog wins R2AK with new record of something like 3 days 20h. We will follow up with details and race analysis later. They arrived 6 hr earlier than the race plan. MAD dog, by the way, stands for (Randy) Miller, (Ian) Andrewes, and (Colin) Dunphy, the skipper and crew of the boat. What a fantastic job they did.
