Not sure if it was 82 or 83. But it was Key West and El Boss was pedal to the metal over the reef. Some went inside, some went outside, Willy just took the shortest route.

Actually I think the F-2 boat count was more like 27! The first turn was INCREDIBLE!

I still prefer big-water races, however, like the 1989 Worlds in AC.
