Spent the weekend in Corpus Christi at the APBA Offshore Shootout. Beautiful place to hold a race, but the water was very rough on both days.
On Saturday, a friend of mine flipped his F1 boat in a turn and was ejected. Spent the longest 15 minutes of my life in recent memory trying to find out if he was okay. They were okay with minor injuries.
On Sunday, Jack Carmody, an Offshore Hall of Famer and multiple record holder, flipped his supercat and died instantly. Very sad and very sobering.
Not trying to preach here, but be safe out there this summer gang. Speed is intoxicating and things can happen very fast. Off of soapbox... Todd
