My very last race was the second heat of the UIM OD World Championships in Berlin and somewhere around 18-20 boats. It was at the Spandau course and I'm sure Ralph knows the milling area, what little of it there is. Probably 3/4 ths of the field jumped the gun and I just held back waiting to get to the first turn, a single pin bouy. There was so much spray that boats went way wide and I intended to cut in close and come out way ahead. That is until one of the boats in the spray missed the bouy and turned around without looking. He was directly in my path and I ramped over him, puncturing a sponson. I did have time to paddle to a yacht and get a rope on the bow handle just before it sank. There's the doorbell. Be back in a minute to do the story.
