Good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I will be at the start line in the morning. ![crazy crazy](/forum/images/graemlins/default/crazy.gif) Rick | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

Is the broken motorhome the one that you used to follow the W1000 with. I remember the old days of waiting months before getting your report in Multihulls magazine.
Jack I don't remember Rick having a report in Multihulls Magazine. He covered it for our own magazine, Catamaran Sailor, and it was always in the next month's issue -- and took up just about the ENTIRE issue. No, this is not the same motorhome. That one died long ago. | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

Rick says they are close-hauled at this point, no spins.
SeaCats had an unknown problem and floundered awhile getting it fixed, but got it handled and on their way pretty quickly. | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

The motorhome had to stay at home in Key Largo, and he is now traveling with the Honda Odyssey, pulling a trailer with two Waves double-stacked, as we are also on our way to Ohio for the summer. | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

I don't like it, either; but the potential of danger is what makes the race attractive to the media. I could almost hear the Extreme Anarchy team salivating at the possible prospect of heavy air and big surf. But Sailing Anarchy is doing a great job of covering the event.
