Gil Bahnsen shared his journey in preparing mentally, emotionally, and physically for the massive challenge of competing in the Race to Alaska (R2AK). He’s building his own boat and plans to sail it from Port Townsend, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska – that’s 750 miles of frigid ocean water. Gil discussed his inspirations, his struggles, and his hopes for a successful journey. He is also using this challenge as a way to advocate for male victims of childhood sexual abuse (see the links below for more information). You can also follow his team, Kingsfold, via their website or facebook page.
