Greatness in our midst

[Special K]

I was watching a video on ESPN about Ted Turner and the 1979 Fastnet Race. Here is a link http://espn.go.com/30for30/film?page=tedturnersgreatestrace . The documentary included an appearance by one of our own, Christian Williams.

I was in awe of your singlehanded trip to Hawaii, but this elevates you to an entirely different plane. You are my hero!

Very cool! Sounds like quite a race!! Christian, did I see a furling boom on the main?

I am sorry not to have the time to reply, but the King of France has sent a car and I should like to be alone with Yvette for a few moments.

Totally enjoyed that...had forgotten that Ted Turner won that race. And had no idea there was footage from his boat during the race. John Rousmaniere's book, Fastnet Force 10 is a great read too.

Looking forward to reading Turner's bio now!
