Like I said in a previous post: It could be a milk run.

Everyone I know that might do this race is very capable and fast. I think to be in that league and NOT do it would be regretful.

I know folks that were in the Fastnet race that year and those are lifetime memories that are part of their legacy. I have done stupid and daring things in my life that I would probably do again, just for the memories. It is always sad when someone is lost in any thrill sport. We get safer all the time with experience and technology.

It is no different than the Worrell races, the Tybee, the Everglades Challenge, the Fastnet, the Trans-Pac. All have inherent risks and they are not for the unprepared. It would be a sad day IMO when we can no longer do these things because someone thinks it is a bad idea.
