Colin rowed an impressive 89 km today, and thank you to those who reminded me that I forgot to mention his mileage yesterday. It was 65 km.
As I watched Colin’s impressive progress today, I thought he must be feeling better. But his phone call set things straight.
“It was the most painful day ever. [...]

For those of you closely following Colin’s route, you will have noticed that Colin’s tracker stopped sending updates at 7:45 this morning.  He had been rowing for just over 3 hours and came into Schooner Bay.   He send me an okay message using the tracker, and I think that shut off the tracking device [...]

Colin has another long day behind him. It’s day 7 of his row and he’s travelled a total of 539 km. Just over 600 km to go. The region he’s going through is absolutely stunning, and he’d love to return on a more leisurely trip.
Tonight he’s camped on a small beach on Nootka Island. [...]

Colin has rounded the corner. He reached his most northern point this afternoon and is now camped in Cape Scott Provincial Park. The weather was less than perfect today and headwinds slowed his progress, but he still managed 69 km.
I’ve never been to Cape Scott, but after listening to Colin rave about the scenery [...]

Colin rowed away from Comox early Monday morning and is implacably working his way back home. He’s travelled 251 km in the last 3 days, and tonight he’s camped on a remote beach just north of Port Hardy.

He’s hoping to complete the circumnavigation of Vancouver Island in less than 16.5 days, which is the impressive [...]

Tomorrow morning, at the loathsome hour of 3 am, Colin is leaving from Comox and beginning his row around Vancouver Island.  You can follow his journey on our blog at http://www.angusadventures.com/race.html. There is a live updated map and our blog, which I’ll update every night after Colin calls me on the Iridium satellite phone.  Wish him [...]

It’s been quite a month for Colin and me. The Amazon tour was a huge success with packed venues and sold-out shows. It was fantastic finishing off in the Comox Valley with a final sell-out. Thank you to everyone who came out!! Now, we have to focus on our upcoming expeditions.
Colin’s circumnavigation of Vancouver Island [...]

Here on the east Coast of Vancouver Island temperatures have been rather un-spring-like, meaning the foliage and flowers are behind schedule. Perhaps the cooler wet days have been a benefit for us, as a lot of people have been ducking out of the rain and adventuring vicariously through our recent Amazon River [...]
