    They'll get hammered! Guatamalia was never known to be fair!, going to fast, not keeping a proper lookout etc. Unfortunately they've shown Guatamalia up in the eyes of the world (they don't give a flying fcuk for the fishermen)Should have gone very qu............. hit a log.............wrong I know but...........5h1t happens! but hell what do I know about it?

    Regardless of the details, it's a terrible tragedy. It seems that the Earthrace crew did everything possible to get to the third fisherman, and they certainly pulled out all the stops to keep the badly injured man alive, hopefully saved his life, but having one person dead is horrible. The reports I've seen all appear consistent, but it's too soon to really know what happened.
