Jake phoned me from the beach at 7:07pm. They are taaaard boys tonight...that's deep Southern talk for tired, of course. I'm gonna post the whole gory story to the best of my ability over on the Breaking News section of Team Seacats here soon, but the short version is that they weighed the options at the time and opted not to make a stop for the new chute and pole. He may or may not have a sailor's report to post tonight. He's got a red neck (no jokes, please) from his dry suit and has now gone to take a shower. Too much information? Anyway, check the site later. I don't know about photos for today. I'm guessing there will be some available, though.
