Reading Steve's report about spending 5 (?) hours taking down his Code 5 after it got messed up.... 5 hours on one sail... wow
Watching the video of Gitana Eighty right after he dismasted.... he led for a good part of the race, and pushing harder than some thought was a good idea and then dismasting with no apparent reason.
The best part of the racing is the fresh attitude of Sam and Dee. Both, esp. Sam, look as though they're out there to enjoy themselves, as though it were a sunny Sunday afternoon sail, yet both are fairly competitive.
Dee....
Surfer Girl standing on the top of the deck.... "surfing" the waves... too funny
Smack... I'm pulling for anyone that can finish the race. I think if you can finish this one, you're a winner, although I'd like to see Derek Hatfield (CDN) win , he's 22nd right now and 1900 nm behind, so unlikely to finish in the top 10. It would be noce to see since my name s on the side of his boat, ( summer before last they were at a boat show in Toronto drumming up sponsership and for $100 you got a Spirit of Canada hat and your name painte don the side of the boat)
