Kevin came back from the Tomales Bay sailing regatta with two trophies - one for coming in second place overall in his class. The second "trophy" is a 5" scar in the shape of a boomerang on the top of his foot that is currently showcasing 14 stitches. He dropped a dead tree limb on his sandaled foot.
The adventure part comes in as Tomales is a regatta where they sail over to the beach and set up camp. So when Kevin was injured, he had to have the boat motored across the bay to where the car was, then back to the beach as they forgot the car keys, then back across the bay again! The drove to the nearby town of Marshall and were met by an ambulance that took him to the emergency room in Petaluma.
Many thanks to his dad, Howard, for all the sailing, driving and motoring all around the north bay so Kevin could get help.
Amazing that he came in 2nd place with all this going on! Also, two other boats in their races capsized, so Kevin was lucky he wasn't one of them.
