We received notice from Team Perseverance in Port Hardy this morning.

“Repeated days of beating into the wind making little progress and these conditions predicted to continue for the next several days, I feel the time has come to bow out of the race. I’ve done everything I can to make speed and forward progress, and it just hasn’t been enough.”

Doug is R2AK family and has been pushing up against the R2AK challenge since 2018. The whole team here is proud of his decision and taking his race to Port Hardy, through all of the brutal Johnstone Strait. Port Hardy is further than he’s ever gone, personal best. Huzzah!
