Club member Mark B. writes from up north...

(The WYC Burgee on S/V Mariposa in Prince Rupert , B.C., Canada, furthest spot north on this trip. )

I made it to Prince Rupert and picked up club member Charlotte who will crew with me for the next legs. 

I've been thinking about wether I should make the quick detour and hop over the Alaskan border just so I can say I went there. 

Well I have decided against it and the challenge will therefore remain open. I'll just have to try again next year!  My goal is Glacier Bay after all, not just the border. 

I'm maybe only 30 nautical miles away from it though, and I swear I can see Sarah Palin's home from my porthole!
