Too Cute

A Sailing Story of Survival (Barely)

My Latest Crush = Ms. Tucker

I am not a big Facebook fan but once in a while I get sucked into Reels. Random video clips. I keep running into this beautiful sailor, Elizabeth Tucker. From what I gather, She was disenchanted with the corporate world and started sailing. Fell in love with sailing long distances and now has big plans. She just recently sailed 14,000 miles to Sydney with Cole Brauer and her boat First Light. Za, as she is known, has purchased the boat for future racing around the world. Here is an interview after the two had arrived in Sydney.

7048

The SEVENTY48 is a unique, human-powered boat race covering 70 miles from Tacoma to Port Townsend, Washington. Participants have 48 hours to complete the course using only human power—no motors, no sails, and no support crews. This year’s race starts on June 6, 2025, at 7:00 PM from the Thea Foss Waterway in Tacoma . The race concludes with the “SEVENTY48 Necktie Affair” on June 8, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend. This celebration includes an awards ceremony and festivities for racers and fans alike. What makes this race so cool is the innovative uses of technology used to move thru the water. I will be featuring some of the wild and wacky ways participants are using. Be on the lookout for updates this weekend on those that dare these wild waters. They have decided to do R2AK every other year so this is a race to fill in the gap. Presented by the same folks that host R2AK.
