| 08/13/04 | Offshore Powerboat Race Today. I took Budget Towing's 41 out for standby duty at the race. It wasn't long before one of the big boats launched off a wave and stuffed the bow into the next wave. (Pictures courtesy of Bruce D.) |
 Rescue team members remove the 3 members. |
 Coming alongside to secure what remains. Although it doesn't look like much, there is approximately $100,000 worth of hardware still here. |
