Was told it was an original print from 67 and had some writing in pencil on the back noting the race name and date.

Was it Haulover to Key West?

Here ya go guys, Carl gets knocked out of the boat, is able to grab the rub rail and pull
himself back in between two running motors!

Legendary...no question about his manhood after that! I think he got an extra man card that day.

Jeanne thought she was the better cat racer.
Jeanne was in this race.
She came around, saw Carl and stopped.

Carl said I`m fine, now keep going.

Carl got tossed out of the boat.
A portion of the rub rail had come off and the
cat was circling.

He swam to the boat, grabbed the rail and that is the pic you see.

One story from Carla if I am remembering correctly instead of ditching his plane in the ocean in WWII at night as instructed which would jeopardize thr lives of most of the injured guys he was transporting, he asked they line the runway with jeeps with their headlights on where he safely landed. With two circumnavigations to his credit, among other adventures, there surely are others.

Does the Hauptner 18' he was building at Ocean Master still out there?
It had the "Wick System" to keep the moisture out of the foam stringers.
