that had to be one long azz day, that amount of time running that kinda water has gotta get to you let alone the stops you had to make to fix a few things. Even still what an incredible experience, and accomplishment I am truly envious. Did i read somewhere on here you may take a stab at Buzzis record with that diesel Skater?

The bad part is when its 2 am and we duck taped the throttles wide open and both of us are in the back working on something with no kill switches. If we get thrown out were 600 miles from shore in cold water with all our safety stuff on the boat going away from us. Whats worse is when that almost happens and we talk about if we get thrown out and the boat keeps going and crosses the finnish line and crashes into shore,do we still get the record if were not in the boat when it crosses the line?
on buzzis record, yes we have the boat ready just waiting on a weather window and some sponsor money to help pay for some of the expenses.

A few more pics from the run. too bad the gopro only lasted an hour and most of that we were stopped. We had some satellite based texting devices that could have sent text the whole way and I figured when we left I would be sending updates every few minuites while I was sitting there not doing anything. In the end I only had enough time to send one text and started three words into the next text and did not have time to finnish it.

this time we will have the wireless kill switches so we can move around to work on stuff but if we go overboard the boat will stop. And will bring some food this time just in case something happens and were stuck out there for a month. I would have hated to have to eat chris.
