I am planning in the summer of 2009 (exact date to be determined) to hire a boat to be a support boat to go with us and then I am going to ride my Sea-doo around the lower portion of this course to pave the way so to speak, for the Wet dog Race. I will have a film crew that will ride on the support boat and document the trip.
The plan will be to leave Anchor Point and head south to Kodiak Island. From there I will go south as the course shows to Old Harbor, Alitak Sea Plane Base, Chignik, Perryville, Cold Bay, False Pass, and then we will cut across into Bristol Bay and head North to Port Moller, Port Heiden, Egegik, Naknek, Igiugig, and then on to Iliamna. Once we reach Iliamna we will then hook up with Williams Transportation Company and have them take our crafts from Iliamna Lake down a 15 mile road to Port Williams. Then it will be a short 60 mile trip back to where we started to Anchor Point. All in all we will have traveled around 1500 miles.
We will be talking to Ion Earth and World Communications Center. They supply GPS tracking systems that we will be renting from them so everyone can track our progress and watch how we are doing. Each rider will be carrying a tracker and so will our pilot boat.
I invite anyone who wants to take this trip with us to contact us as soon as possible. I would like to have at least 4 watercrafts go with us. If you do go, you will go down in history as one of the first pioneers to make this trip.
If you want to go, please sign up and register with us and mark down that you would like to take this trip.
It will cost some money to do this and we are still working out how much. You will be expected to pay for your own food and fuel for the craft that you are riding. You will have to pay for your own hotels or rooms when we stay overnight in the different villages. We will work up a reasonable budget so that all 5 of us help spilt the cost of the support boat for the trip.
You can sign up here if you are interested in running this portion of the race with me.
