but nice try. stew ped, but nice try anyway.
a) the guts of the article may not mention the waves breaking, but
they were - there was heaps of footage of this storm and various
rescues on tv at the time. The waves were breaking and so were the
yachts.
b) some of these 'amateurs' had been ocean racing for 50 years. I'll
take their on-location-description over your parked-in-front
-of-a-monitor-refutation, anyday.
