Brian Carr was up in a helicopter this morning to film the start, and he just called in a report to me. They followed the fleet up to Port Everglades, and at that point Team Tybee was well in the lead, followed by Accelerated Chaos and Marley's Orange (Jared and Colin).

Bad news was that right at Port Everglades Trey Brown and Alan Stewart on Team Velocity broke their tiller crossbar in the middle, and Trey fell off the boat. When the helicopter left the scene, Alan was trying to steer the boat with one rudder to return to pick up Trey.

It appeared that Cat Fever was heading back to the beach.

An unidentified white boat appeared to have broken its spinnaker pole and they were stopped, trying to fix it.
