At the Gorge Downwind Championships race last Thursday, every racer had a number "tent" taped to the stern deck of the boat. When I arrived at the finish, I discovered that mine was no longer on my boat.
Thanks to the miracle of digital photography, I have pinpointed the precise moment when my number and I parted ways. The wind had been blowing the thing all over the place and it's a wonder more racers didn't lose theirs.
Fortunately, I also had a number pinned to the front of my P.F.D., so the race officials were able to record a finish for me.
I do feel bad about adding some litter to one of our planet's wonderful rivers.
