Yes... sigh... that is the GEM... upside down in Crystal. Thanks to Dave Mortenson for this photo. NOT TO BE USED without express permission from Dave Mortenson.
I ran crystal just after Tom and the GEM. He ended up left of the rock bar with no damage at all.
I think that's his head you can see just left of the boat. A min or so after this photograph Tom was able to climb the strap on the bottom of the boat to get on top and stay out of danger. That was the first time I saw a hard boat rigged to flip with the strap run under the bottom. It worked and got Tom out of the water and safe after the upset.
