 On Saturday June 10th, 2017, at 9:04am, Mike launched his Epic 18X kayak from Kain's Island, on the Northwest coast of Vancouver Island.  He is currently attempting to break the Vancouver Island circumnavigation speed record, by paddling approximately 1200km or 650 nautical miles, in under 12 days and 23hrs.  For safety purposes and record keeping accuracy,  his progress is being tracked via Garmin InReach GPS.  You can follow him on the live map below and refer to the orange arrows for detailed tracking information.  

Please let Mike know you are watching by leaving your words of encouragement below!
