The 28 members from Flotilla 98, together with seven<br />
members from Flotilla 99 logged 405 man-hours<br />
assisting this event. Impressed with the sailor’s skills<br />
and determination, the members got to know some of<br />
them, and Larry Keller (Flotilla 98) appeared to have a<br />
favorite, contestant Joseph (Jody) Hill from Seabrook,<br />
Texas (pictured at left.) Jody, paralyzed from the chest<br />
down, races a sloop called Positive. He has been racing<br />
since 2008 and has already earned second place in the<br />
2011 North American Challenge Cup, and third place<br />
in the 2011 U.S. Disabled Sailing Championships.<br />
Given the sailors’ courage, it is no wonder that so<br />
many members were willing to dedicate so much time<br />
to this race Ω<br />
