Races

Today was a little cooler so we stayed away from the golf course and went to watch the Formula 1 boat races.

The Formula 1 boats have an American tour and a European tour, much like the cars. They were reaching speeds of 159 miles per hour today...and they are so loud!


We also stayed to watch the Cracker Jack races. These boats are operated by two people and they are even louder. 

The Cracker Jack race was going well until the orange boat couldn't manage a curve and they flipped sideways. Not head over heels like you see in movies, but just as frightening.

The Water Rescue boat was out in minutes and had the two men on the way to the hospital shortly after. One was on a stretcher so he may have been seriously injured but we don't know.
