Did the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse?!?!?

The pelicans are a nice touch.

This points out EXACTLY why my crew thinks I should name the boat "OH SH*T!!!". They claim I say it (lets be generous and say) frequently. Maybe I do, I'm usually too busy to notice.

Poor guy? He's about to win the leg! Surely he's the only one that got off the start line!

Well, that certainly ranks on the Oh-$hit-O-meter.

I wonder how many pieces of his boat he took home.

Following that line of thinking, mine should be named "F*** ME!!"

Wendy:

That photo has been doctored. It was from the Worrell (sp)race one year. Mast was broken, but the wave was made to look REAL big here. They lost a lot of boats that year. BUT it still would have scared the crap out on me. Big waves and cats are not fun!!

I THOUGHT that looked familiar! It looks like one of Rick's Worrell photos. (Of course, a lot of photos taken during the Worrell 1000 looked like that. )

Mary:

I don't know the exact year but Andrew Tatton told me it was the year all the boats where torn up in the surf. The had to cancel one of the starts and trailer the boats left to the next start. Ask Rick he will know. The photo has been changed to make it look at lot worse. But even small scale, it would have scared the carp out of me.

I don't think that particular picture necessarily has any relation to a particular year or particular leg of the Worrell 1000. To me, that is just a typical-looking Worrell 1000 picture of a cat coming in through big surf to the finish line at the beach. We have lots of pictures that look like that. And I'm sure the other photographers do, too, over several years.

I doubt if it was a picture from the "big devastation." The year all the boats were torn up in the surf was 2001, when they were on Leg 3, trying to LEAVE Jensen Beach and get out through the surf to get to Cocoa Beach. Only five boats made it out through the surf and many of the rest ended up in pieces on the beach.

That picture was of JC leaving Jenson beach. The boat was going through a breaking wave. JC did not make it and the boat flipped over backwards. The photo here has been changed to make the wave bigger. Walter Cooper took the photo and it was printed in Sail Magazine (July 2001).

Here's the original before Dan unleashed his photoshop on it....actually, this one must have been in a series just before the one dan used.

Was Walter in a helicopter? I guess he had to be. That is the first time I have seen a picture of a boat coming out through the BACK SIDE of a wave like that. Awesome!
