    Can't find Sew Sew on the tracker. Maybe Randy is already finished.....UPDATE: SS broke a rudder during the night. It was fixed and she's back on the water but waaay behind Spawn.
    Thanks for the pictures ,Hoyt!

    OH Rodgers Tampa Bay 22 looks like it will win. Amazingly, a Hobie 16 is in second just ahead of Sew Sew and the Tornado.
    UPDATE: Congratulations to the guys on "Spawn" the Tampa Bay 22 built for this Challenge! They have finished way ahead of second. Sew Sew seems to be limping along and something is also wrong with the Tornado.... The Hobie 16 is headed for the finish.

    That was a cool drone video, Doug. I approached from the other end of the beach and he got away before I got there. Sew Sew is in this freeze frame from Jayson Hanes.
