Default Granet on Miss Geico Wreck: “Looking at sky, looking at water.”

From the guys in the cockpit, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-at-water.html.

Sorry for the "stock" photo ... I don't have rights to the wreckage shots, but there's a really good on this site.

As someone said in another thread, boats can be fixed. Glad the guys are fine.

Great to hear all are ok.

Here is a look inside of Miss Geico and it is probably any outer skin issue. Hard to believe with a boat with this much structural support would have any serious structural damage. But than again stranger things have happened in Offshore...
















The hatch that came off:

It was rough...literally 15 minutes or so before the first race was to begin a nasty storm rolled in which created 5 - 6 foot waves....I think they got the first race started around one hour after the scheduled start. Miss Geico and Cintron were both getting lots of air....glad Marc and Scott are ok. I was impressed with Cintron....even when Marc and Scott pulled off the course they continued to run very very hard and put on a show! Thank you to all of the racers for coming back to Michigan City this year!
