Did he finish the race, or head in to shore somewhere short of the finish?
My wife was watching it over my shoulder, she said, "If that crew was his wife, I'll bet that boat is for sale by now..."

Once you start the MKL Race, there are very few places to bail out of the race. It is a 43 mile race going south down Biscayne Bay and there are only a couple of marina along the whole way. It is very difficult to go to one of these marina because of jetties and seawalls. If your boat is sailable, you just about have to finsh the course or turn back north to Miami. You only other option would be to get someone to tow you back to shore.
Doug Russell was sailing with his sister Debbie Russel in the video. I talked to them at Gilbert's Marina (the finsh takeout spot) after the race. They are from Ft. Lauderdale and are both very experienced Hobie 16 sailors.
