It should be read by anyone sailing on the ocean. http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/lectronicday.lasso?date=2012-04-24 Since I wrote this Bryan Chong, one of the surviving crew of Low Speed Chase has issued a statement that describes the events of that day, and corrects some of the details as I reported above.

I was on a boat that was very close with Temerity all day ... Just shortly behind her... and in coming within view of Low Speed Chase on the rocks... It was only my 2nd ocean race, personally... It's been hard to get the events of the day out if my mind... Every little "piece" of the puzzle that I read helps me to reconcile my own recollection of the day...

Along with the Clipper race it reminds one of the power of sea and waves in particular - and why if in doubt clip that harness on. Very sorry to hear about this loss.

This is a sad day indeed for all of us! Thanks for the write up david there was a lot of speculation on the boat in distress. This is a sad day indeed for all of us!
