I was there on that run in Freedom US1 46 Skater. Got into 12 plus footers before we got to Free Port Bahamas. Only three boats made it out of 20 or so. When that pic was taken is was only 4 to 5s or so. Unfortunately our Go Pro got wash off the deck of the boat after a few stuffs or we would of had great video. Caught a flying fish along the way as well! Lol

Little did I know that my future wife was riding shotgun with me in this pic from Mercury photo shoot 1999
