Boat's fine. Skipper's spent. If anyone had a bet on the race, like my kids - someone just won! It's been a blast, I appreciate the support and go try to do something hard - the reward is immense!

No my boat didn’t fly home, I had an encounter with a wing dam that prematurely ended my race. I think my attached reel says enough…. If you’re gonna be dumb you gotta be tough!

Last sunset before we point the bow down river. Tomorrow we leave St. Paul and attempt to run nearly 1,500 miles to the Gulf in under eight days—in a $5,000 boat. Time to see if all the planning was enough. Follow along. #TGARR #Adventure #BoatLife
One last shakedown run before we send it.
