Rogue tusumi or Ships wake
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/7925603.stm
Mark Maidment broke his leg after Spirit of Mystery was struck by freak weather off Kangeroo Island, near southern Australia. The voyage is being led by sailor Pete Goss, and his 14-year-old son and brother are also on board. The boat is sailing to a point where Mr Maidment can be airlifted to hospital. Mr Goss said: "There was no warning, just a huge wall of water that smashed into the boat rolling her more than 90 degrees onto her side. "She just shook herself off and came upright; but when she did, Mark's leg was broken." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cool looking boat. I assume this is the same Pete that was on Team Philips. Joe |
