Unfortunately, it was BC that got hit by the N20 - but he was on his way to winning the regatta before the accident. He missed races 3, 4 and 5 due to a gapping hole in his port hull. It is somewhat amazing that no one got hurt. The top three in Open Fleet were (I THINK I have the order correct):

1. F17 (Schwall)
2. F18 (Lennard/Krantz)
3. F17 (Teets)

Good quote: "The cat racing scene is too small to all lock ourselves away on our own little islands anyway. Much better to just join fleets, have a good time and learn from each other !"

On my way home from Pensacola yesterday, I saw a tiny rural church (Flomaton, AL) with these words on the sign out front: "Hate hurts the hater more than the hated."
