That is a sad photo, because we all worked so hard just to get to the starting line and then packed up everything and went home without even starting the race.
Mike hurt his knee weeks before the race playing frisbee and was doing physical therapy to get it back in shape.The doctor said his knee was in great shape and he could race. We went out for a practice sail on the day before the race and Mike hurt his knee on a tack and we came in. Mike iced it down that night and it felt a lot better and we planned to race the next day. While doing streching in the morning before the race it poped out again.
David our ground crew member had too many rum drinks stayed in the hot tub too long and his knee gave out in the RV (his knee had been injured from skiing years before).

Mike had surgey a few days after we got back and was sailing a few weeks later. David had surgey I think in August and is still recovering
