Two are over
by Bonnie on Oct.24, 2007, under Miscellaneous
While I was watching Kirk and Boog drag race on the first downwind leg, followed hotly by Team Seacats and another team, I got distracted then…oopsie…two boats went over. Must have both caught a funny puff. Well, it will be funnier later on. By the time I had a chance to snap a photo from far to great a distance to be interesting, the first was already back underway. About a minute later, Randy Harr and Dan Paoli got upright again. Neither required any assistance and I haven’t heard anything over the radio so all should be well. A bit of time lost is a bite enough. I only hope that there was no spinnaker rippage during their baptism/launch. It looked like it happened pretty quick, anyway. It’s so difficult to pay close attention to such a large fleet when spread out.
By the bye, Boog’s sail still says 007, so I don’t know about the other boat that I thought was them earlier.
Oh, and thank you for your phone calls.
