To clarify the prop issue... When we got the Skater last fall, it came with two steel props made by Precision Werx. Tyson and Chris threw a blade in Feb attempting the Key West to Cancun run. We tracked down another set from Precision Werx and they sent them to us. They are stainless steel. They departed this morning with the stainless set in the water, the steel prop that was still "good" (Tyson did some welding to hold it together before they left) and one borrowed Hering prop. They broke one stainless PW prop around 60 miles out and put the Hering on. Then the second stop they broke the other PW prop and put on the steel welded prop.

So basically their chances were very slim.... He said they kept doing all the math to find out just how fast they had to go to save the props and make it to beat the record.

Considering they have to get props, sail back and trailer for miles, can they make it before LOTO ends this Sunday? That would be another record!

Congrats!
