Boy if Trey and Alan would stop breaking things and stay on the boat they may really be in contention.. Hopefully this is nothing major.
Undoubtedly - it takes about four years of racing this race to understand what needs to be gone through and modified or reinforced to withstand the riggers of 524 miles of ocean (basically - you see everything that can break, break). Trey and Alan most definitely have the speed to contend. If I were forced to guess, I would guess that they had a spinnaker problem. I've got calls into everyone - hopefully hear something soon.
We were going to stop in Flagler Beach for lunch to watch them pass, but they're already beyond that point - we're boogieing to Fernandina.
