Boldly Went: YOUR Adventure Stories

How to Wrap a Raft, Stories from R2AK 2019, Ep. 145

For the next few episodes we’ll be sharing some of the incredible stories that we collected at our live storytelling event last year at the Race to Alaska sendoff party in Port Townsend, Washington. Race to Alaska has been cancelled for 2020 so we’re hoping these stories will keep the intrepid and eccentric spirit of R2AK alive while we eagerly await its return next year. All the stories from this event were centered around the theme of water; this story is about a wild and somewhat harrowing overnight kayaking adventure in Alaska.
