Oar Northwest
Emerald Harbor Marine is very proud to sponsor Oar Northwest. Founded by four University of Puget Sound Rowing alumni and teammates, the fledgling ocean rowing team dreamed of breaking records and winning the first rowing race across the North Atlantic Ocean. Big goals…unimaginable odds. It has become an ongoing success story.
On its website, Oar Northwest acknowledges Emerald Harbor's contributions to their efforts: "On the North Atlantic we put our lives in the capable hands of these guys in 2006, and 71 days later we made it safe to shore with communications, water, and plenty of power to make more."
