OK, that was cool.

Something happened out there. We transcended reality - changing from misfits and novelty into a cohesive team. Individually, we were funny little sailors with no business being in an event like this.

Together . . . together we somehow became greater than our individual components. We not only proved ourselves, but we were able to help others.

In the '08 Texas200, Jason, John W and I sailed into history. In the '09 Texas 200, us 'Duckers sailed into legend.

Thanks, Gordon, Kevin, Jon and Jason. Thanks for being there.

PS: A lot of people act heroically each and every day. There are a lot of heroes we know about and also unsung heroes. But I gots me an official piece of paper! This is going on my wall.

Wanna see more accounts of the 09 TX200?
