The cool thing to do would be to take the nail out, pose for the photo by the tree, then donate the cash to a good sailing cause. But the cheap steak knives? I would frame that!

I don't really see the fuss.
Obviously they made a mistake, and this want planned in any way. There was no advantage to going the route they did, they have already penalised themselves. The rules weren't written for such a weird route because there is no advantage in using it.
If you read the day 4 update you see that race office is totally book with the route, intact they might even have encouraged it to keep the knife fight closer!

Nice! I bet they come into view soon
Will set up a tiny but monthly donation to that good cause. Very cool, thanks for the link.

I agree.
Basic code of seamanship, plenty of yacht races manage fine.
Simpler for race management too if multiple rescues are required.
Not to mention safety returning to home port
look, there are other "prizes" as well, called side bets.
the 10 grand is nailed to a piece of wood. location not given, but it might be at a dock.

Payouts - Race to Alaska
Payouts It’s been said the winner-take-all nature of R2AK isn’t fair. “How can a kayak compete with a carbon fiber sailing rocket?” Honestly we have no idea, but a few folks did it anyway. Why? Because the root of the R2AK isn’t the winning but the doing…which is easier to say if you didn’t have...

I have an idiot friend who retired early and got talked by some lady in the local pub into taking her on a cruise that leaves soon, from Seattle to Ketchikan and back. They are going to do all the ridiculous crap that I suppose happens, he did mention a helicopter ride. He usually flies up, to remote fishing outposts. But anyway...
The "prize" for my dumbass would be just sailing any part of the R2AK, hopefully completing it but either way. It is God's Country up there.

Here's a listing of previous finishers:
If they started at noon on Thursday wouldn't that put them at 4 days 4 hours now, plus change until they finish, so likely the fifth fastest boat after the Shock?
Your friend can’t be that much of an idiot, if he can retire early, pick up some woman in a bar and take her on a cruise and do ridiculous crap with her?
