The race is moving to Moresby Island

Pat Chan / 27.06.2007

All through last night teams were arriving at CP 11 and going on to Moresby Island. Some teams opted to rest and sleep, spending as long as seven hours in transition before paddling off to Moresby Island. Others, like team Sole, sensing that they might be able to catch the leading team, yukonWILD, were at CP 11 just more than an hour before launching their kayaks.

The status of teams has changed dramatically with only four teams being on the full regular course (now showing as advanced on the leaderboard), 12 teams on the shortened regular course, five are continuing unranked and two have withdrawn.

Team 11, Intrepid Travel is now unranked. Asked about going on, Leanne Mueller said, "we've had a rest and we're continuing unranked because we want to see and experience as much of Haida Gwaii as possible."

Commenting on the race up to CP 11, Karen Lundgren of Team SOLE commented, "the course is very hard, very beautiful and there are a lot of fallen trees in Canada. The race is taking longer than expected, but lots can happen, there's stilll a lot of course out there."

We're expecting the last teams to arrive at CP 11 shortly at which time all race efforts will focus on Moresby Island until teams return to finish the Haida Gwaii leg of Raid the North Extreme 2007.
