Group 4 Toppled
They say the hardest part of the Around Alone
race is getting to the starting line. This saying
held true on Monday in Charleston SC.
It was in Charleston at Delta Marine that
Team Group was knocked off it cradle by a storm.
There was minor damage to the boat.
An attempt was made to secure Group 4 as the
strom approached. Group 4 was lashed to a one-and-a-half
ton compressor, a two-ton cement block,
and a large dock bollard.
During the storm the line running to the bollard
gave way, and down went the boat. Race officials
expect Group 4 to be ready for the September 26th
start.
