Team Dallas, safe and sound, all boats in and accounted for.

Thanks Karl, John and Jeremy for the great updates.

It's tough tapping out texts to all my female fans, updating this thread, and keeping the camera trained on something other than my sunburned feet.

Epic day of racing here in Texas! Tomko and Billings claim the first spot...but not without a fight from Casey and Tebow, who finished just 1:30 behind! An incredible finish after almost 100 miles open ocean racing!

John Tomko and Ian Billings


Tomko and Billings didn't finish without damage, they broke a rudder on the way in to Mustang Island.



Casey and Tebow smolder onto the beach!

There was some drama on the beach!
Team Chums came in hot, spun up and almost lost it. If it weren't for the quick thinking of their beach crew, they might have gone over.

...that's not all.

Steve Piche fell off of his boat just inside of the surf line, and his crew had to manage a powered-up spin on his own with marginal success!






Join us tomorrow at 9:30am Central for another action packed live stream at Justin.tv/greattexas300

First day rusty racer ruckus!

There must me something about that mainsail that likes to flip on the beach :P

Oh! is that wolf-toes' old main?

PS...how did that ground crew dude NOT break that spinnaker pole? Never grab the pole and defend it from anyone else who might think of grabbing the pole! Our ground crew got that speech before each of our early Tybee runs.

Spin was still up keeping held from top.
