I was wondering if that's what was happing in that video. I thought I could see you say, "we hit the mark."

Great video, overall, despite grabbing the mark. It explains why you had the low placing in that race. You seem to be doing pretty well against a very tough crowd. Keep it up and stay away from the anchor lines.


Well...I had forgotten that the camera was rolling through all of that until Brian said with a twinge of sarchasm "We got some GREAT footage" sometime later that evening. ;-) When we hit the mark, I think David was the first to say "Mark, Mark!" When he started to lift the boards while on his knees I think I said something like "board all the way" - not that he wasn't already going for it. It felt like an eternity before we got unstuck from the anchor line as we had all those boats hot on our heels. After looking back at the video, I was amazed at how quickly David reacted to the issue I created! We did our 360 shortly after that jibe and we did it without dousing the chute - it went pretty quickly but we did lose position on all those boats. Video like that, although publicly can be a bit embarassing , is really valuable to me to critique ourselves. Brian has a really neat setup with these cameras that can survive the craziest conditions.
