Yup. A boat lost a guy in the 2012 Gulfport to Pensacola race. 4-6 foot seas,
20+ knots. Came up to pee, fell overboard. No PFD. Fortunately, it was a
clear night and one of the watch standers was an experienced pilot. He looked
astern at the sky and stars and was able to guide the boat back to the guy. My
buddy on the boat said they only lost 3 1/2 minutes picking him up. Now
there's a racer!
