I just drew it on there by hand with a pencil! Dark enough lead will show up nicely. Any marks left behind get removed when sponging it clean.

You just have to bring everything with you on your paddle craft that you might need. Technically you can stop and go to stores or restaurants along the way but they are few and hard to get to. It just has to be available to everyone else. So I didn’t stop because I wanted to compete and have a faster time and challenge myself. But you have 48 hours to complete it so you can stop to rest or even camp along the way if you want. But lots of us just paddle straight through non stop. I brought several camelbak bladders of water strapped down and a few PBJ sandwiches and some bars/gels etc.

@@MKearney Thanks for the reply. My teammate is going to do it next year and I was just looking for more info. I might give it a go as well. Looks like top finishers are like...12-14hrs. Which is insane, but not as long as I thought it would be. Not like I can do it that fast, but gives some perspective on it. I literally thought you paddled for 48hrs straight.

Actually that’s not what happened. A lot of bad reporting was done about this event and very little fact checking. 15-20 people were assisted and brought back to shore. They were not in immediate danger. Some I talked to just accepted the ride back rather than deal with the conditions. But all of the boats that helped, including the coast guard, were there before the event started. Thanks to the organizers being prepared just in case. As the race started, it was flat and windless. And it was called off as soon as the police boat (already present before hand) recommended it. And much of the assistance wasn’t by the USCG because they had big cutters present. It was by smaller zodiac boats and a jet ski and safety kayak paddlers and the police boat. This was all planned for and safe.

When they say "rescue" they don't mean the type of rescue you see on TV. They mean an assist back to shore. Anyone who started the race is well prepared to capsize and perform a self rescue. It's the weather and the massive waves that made it hard to pass. Since resources were already in place they simply assisted them back to shore. Death was not imminent for anyone at any point.

Thanks! I’m just using 1080p 60 and wide on a Hero5 black.

This was from Madison Park to Sand Point. When we have more time we usually start from the Adams Street boat ramp.

@@MKearney right on…good times

Thanks! It was fun out there

Thanks, hope your first Chattajack went well! I’ve been hearing about the conditions and all the broken course records and have been very jealous 😁

Went great, strong current and no problems with wind or waves👍

There were a lot of tools in this video. Some store bought such as the exacto knife and pin tool, and some hand made for the purpose I needed them for such as the carving tools.

Hmm, there used to be sound. Must have been a new copyright issue and CZcams muted it.

Thanks! You're the first person to (accidentally) see it outside of me and Ali, haha. I forgot to change it from Public until after the film festival on November 7th.
