necessity is the mother of invention. We limped across the finish line, but we made it. The last 11.2 miles were some of the funnest sailing I have ever done. We were surfing down waves, running the kite off of the spin pole mast, and enjoying every moment thinking... 'This is what the tybee500 is all about, finish at all costs'. Will post more later, but for now, its hit the town and get the drink on!
