There's no cause.
There are no sponsors.
There's no agenda.

Two Canadians are venturing from Cumberland (Vancouver Island) to Alaska this summer. They're traveling in rowboats they built themselves over the winter. Their names are Ashlie Ferguson and Laura Macready.

Traveling under the name 'The Rookie Rowers,' they talked with Joe from Paddle and Portage at the halfway point of their journey, which was in the small coastal village of Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
