I have not got to speak to Tyson, but he has been sending me texts.
He says they can barely stand up. They had a lot of press and even the Mayer was there to welcome them in. They had to go to Customs and do interviews. He says the seas were 8-10' foot most of the way, beating them to death. They passed about five cruise ships, a couple late at night 400 miles offshore and they were running 49mph. Chris and Tyson want to thank everyone for the good wishes and Chris thanks Statement, Mercury, and all of his other sponsors. Without them, they would not have been able to make the journey. He says that when they get an internet connection he will give a full report on the trip. Tristan |

here's the interview with the local news... i wanted to get some pics for u guys, but today was the biggest boating day on the Bermuda calender.. so hopefully i'll check tomorrow..
here's the website... www.islandstats.com Fertig and Garvin Break Challenge Record Record Breakers in Bermuda IslandStats.comChris Fertig and Tyson Garvin roared into the Record Books after they powered the 37-foot Statement Marine center console with twin Mercury TDI diesels into the St. George’s Town Cut Channel. The friends completed the course in a time of 21 hours and 39 minutes setting a new record for the 760 mile ocean crossing breaking the New York to Bermuda Challenge record which was held by Neil Burnie, who set the record back in 2002 aboard a Renaissance Marine Prowler 302 clocking a time of 22 hours and 23 minutes. With an excited Kathy Hendrickson, Fertig’s sister standing on the rocks of the channel John Trimingham who was the official Bermuda timekeeper called out the Record Time. After clearing customs, Fertig and Garvin was congratulated by Hendrickson, Trimingham and the Mayor of St. George’s Kenneth Bascome. Fertig said his Statement monohull can maintain more than 30 knots in rough conditions with its air-cushioned deck, which compensates for slamming loads. The air-bag technology is being developed by Statement Marine, of St. Petersburg, Florida. |
