Make That "Ran Off and Hid!"
Come to think of it, I "followed" a Volvo offshore race—quite literally!
Off Ft. Lauderdale, we were spectating from a "fully-capacitied-out" Farrier-28 trimaran traveling at 19 knots (!). We had a slight lead over the fleet at the start, but when they set their spinnakers, the entire fleet simply ran off!
