Phenomenon or Phenome-not—All Good

After following this story since November 2009, here's my take http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...%99s-all-good/.

Happy and safe July 4 weekend, all.

Nice piece Matt!

Happy 4th of July to you and your family!

Indeed Matt,
Well written and good synopsis. Have a happy 4th and wish you were coming to the Chesapeake, seat is still open if you guys want.

Nice article! Hopefully, some time in the future they will be able to make Al, Sr. and the state of Louisiana proud. We sure need something positive to happen. Everyone have a very nice and SAFE 4th of July.

Jeez Matt you make it sound like they're giving up. I don't think they'll do that. What I think they should do now is talk to the top turbine people, hull builders and also Rik Wimp at Arneson to try to solve those issues.

Not at all, Cat. Re-read what I wrote, especially, the part near the end where I said "for the time being." I actually was being positive (OK, positive for a journalist).

When I spoke to Scott Barnhart yesterday and he told me they were out for today, I made a (very) conscious choice not to ask him what the Phenomenon team's future plans are. My reasoning? No need to create pressure. Better to ask that question in a couple of weeks when they've had a chance to assess what they did right, what they did wrong and where they want to go in future.

Have a great weekend.

You too Matt. Thanks for posting stuff from your site. :) Happy 4th, just don't slip on a boat deck and come in 5th. :D
