For most of its years, Northwest Maritime has prospered immensely from the generosity of thousands of individual volunteers who have shared their skills, experience, and zeal to help transform numerous lives through maritime activities. What keeps our volunteers coming back for more? Why do people continue to seek to become our new volunteers? Well, let’s be honest—our bona fide Victorian seaport location, the boats, and the Salish Sea at our doorstep (just to name a few) all hold great allure.

Forty-four teams started with dreams of glory and sea spray, fears of the rugged places, and pedaling-induced injuries. Of those, 32 aimed for the whole enchilada: the 750-mile gut-punch to Ketchikan. And to start the thing off, the Proving Ground didn’t disappoint.
