Me and a couple of buddies went to Catalina for the race and we rented one of those outboard boats to go watch the turn. Well we got a little more action then planned. From what I heard is the turn boat was near the casino and it was supposed to be towards the condos north of the casino. Well as always, it was foggy and the turn boat had a white balloon in the air so it was hard to see against the fog. Haig and Proctor came in north of the turn boat and almost overshot the turn but saw it at the last minute and made a decent turn. But for a many boats after that, they overshot the turn and after they finally saw the turn boat they had to drive right through the spectators boats to complete the turn. we were in that little 15 foot outboard and had boats blazing as close as 10 feet from our boat. We watched as two boats almost hit together just feet from us. It was crazy. you could talk to the skier as he went by. we got a couple pictures and I'll have my buddy post them later. The best ski race Ive ever watched.

Was it a gray rubber boat? If so I think that was Myself and Scot Conrad Yellow boat....

I couldn't believe it when Randy Davis towing Todd Haig cut through the spectator boats!!! What a move - that put them squarely ahead of Warpath and Peter Proctor....

Hoggins was coming right at us and turned at the last second, he missed us by about 10-15 feet at the absolute most.

His white wash, all i could pop off by braile bracing myself for the wake, if i had of gotten the skier it would have been a great shot.
