The guy driving the green boat looked like he was going for a swim at 1:45 of the video! Cool sounding, Scary handling!

Not really

I was there, standing about 4 feet behind the guy who shot the video. It wasn't as out of shape as it looks in the video. It was a nasty Seattle day, about 40 something degrees, a good stiff wind and whitecapping just a bit.

Still, it was great to see and hear. The Hydro Museum is decking their replica of the Miss Wahoo they are building for Bill Boeing Jr. It will be running this year at the Seattle unlimited race, with the Bardahl, the Thriftway, and another vintage unlimited or two.

Unfortunately, all this will take place the day after Grass Lake, and I'll be on the trip home that day
