John King had this idea that if he pointed the boat towards the moon it would be quicker. Was it ? who knows but it was one hell of a ride.
I sat backwards, as the observer, in the Bridge to Bridge ski classic in 1981 ( I think ) of course working all night to get it going.
If ever your in Windsor, drop into Windsor Seafoods and ask Barry Lane, the owner if his arms had recovered after skiing 72 miles.
I can still the pain in Barrys face every time the boat leaped in the air. I thought it funny at the time until a plug lead came adrift and apparently it was the observers responsible to put it back on.
No backing off, there was permanent finger nail marks gouged in the side of the boat where I was hanging on.
Always an adventure, there was never a dull moment.
