Re: Roghest Race??
Cape Cod; I didn't race the Miami one. However when you crest a wave and look to your starboard and about 1/2 mile away you see Miss Budwiser about 20 feet in the air with her bow shooting straight for the clouds, you realize quickly, today is more about survival than competition.

I don't Rember him turning around, and I was there, but he was running a 32' CAT with in OPEN class back then. "THE LEGEND" Errol Lainer was leading for along time in that race. Sloopy Joes flipped, It was HUGE!!!!!
