I have read so much about the extended spin runs and can only imagine the hand cramping the crews were enduring. Working the chute for hours is very physical, did the skipper and crew trade off, was it all on the crew? IMO when the spin is up the crew is really running the boat, skipper is threading the line.

I just want to say how impressive the whole deal was, coverage, effort by Velocity, the whole deal. The crews deserve huge credit as do the ground crews etc. I might have been able to run a spin for one day but not repeating it day after day, impressive! These are men and women of steel!!!
