Chaos in sight!

We can barely see them from the beach – the sun is going down but they could be here before daylight is completely gone.
Chaos calls!

Chaos called and they just hit 11 knots of boat speed under jury rig w/ spin pole and jib headed to the finish!!!! I question whether or not they can maintain the high angle for the finish or if they’re going to just target Tybee Island – they’re only 6.5 miles out now and they said they’re comin’ home.

Cat in the hat is in and Larry is losing his “jesus” hair tomorrow morning as part of his pledge to his completion of the Tybee 500.

Cat in the Hat visible on the horizon.
No word yet from chaos but we know they have cell phone (with poor reception) and EPIRB. Earlier in their phone call they said their VHF radio wasn’t working (had water in it). We’re running through ideas to fetch them but the south winds should blow them to us on Tybee Island so we’re being as patient as possible.
