We were running good until we pitchpoled about 5 miles after Angelfish Creek in the ocean, righted the boat and continued. All of our battens came out except one which was half way in.

If it was upwind we would have had to pull out. It is a long way down from the top. I finally found my landing spot when the boat was just over center.

Randy Smyth was running his 15' trimaran without a jib due to problems came by to check on us. Team Jet Blast (Hobie 21 with three onboard) passed us and the wind dropped a little and we were able to pass back and take them to the finish.
