Fernandina: 4:30pm

Team Velocity suffered a capsize and a pitchpole early on in the race this morning, one of which was difficult to recover from and left them fighting to right the boat for a time in the water. As a result, Tad became exhausted and opted to switch out with their alternate, Alan Stewart. As a precautionary measure, Tad was met by his Ground Crew and taken to the hospital for evaluation. He was given fluids and will be kept for observation for another half hour and then released. The rest of the fleet is reported to be about 35 miles out so we hope to see them around 5:30.

Thanks for the Time stamp Bonnie, it definitely helps. Tell Frank and Jake to keep up the good work.
