Voyage Challenge
How far can you sail in a single voyage?

Voyage Challenge Rules:
1 - Boat must be setup in class legal configuration, however you may use any human power such as oars, paddles, pedal drive etc to propel your boat. (no electric or gas motors, or stored energy devices).
2 - Distance is measured point to point, not sailing miles recorded by GPS. So if you sail from the dock to the far side of the lake, measure the straight distance. You can also do laps, or sail to multiple points recording the straight distances between them.
3 - Must stay with your boat in a continual manner, such as if it is a multi-day voyage, you have to camp in or near your boat. This is to eliminate a scenario where you are spending a week's vacation at a lake front cottage, and go sailing for a few hours a day and call that a voyage - that would not adhere to the spirit of this challenge.
4 - Portage distance does not count. If you transport the boat from one body of water to another during your voyage, the distance between does not count.
5 - Doing multiple laps in a small body of water is OK.
Please submit photos and text with your record.
