Nice Matt. I didn't know Gordo's legendary race was captured. All of these photos were taken by Jerry Veleske who bobbed around on a chase boat all week.
I hadn't seen the first photo either. Between pulling anchors and plucking people out of the water we like to 'critique' the sailors. We have a good time.

By the way that guy Joel to my left, was the superstar of racecourse rescues. He jumped in the water probably 10 times over the course of the week to help right boats, and make sure people were OK. It takes volunteers like this to make a regatta run smoothly.
