10-18-2011 08:01 AMTouted as the fastest ever grounding.....
Fabio Buzzi has now outdone them all by grounding at the highest speed ever recorded: 155 mph.
Last year, Buzzi won the Pavia to Venetia race down the River Po in his gas turbine-powered hydroplane after trying for 30 years. This year, he entered the same boat and set off down the river as part of a fleet of more than 50 boats. For the tricky navigation, he was using a Navionics chartplotter with specially developed maps, but on one leg, the sun was shining on the screen and he could not read the chart. When he tried to take a shortcut across the river, he hit a sandbar, traveling over 80 feet of it before coming to rest, high and dry.
I guess he had a bunch of guys lift it off the sandbar, ran it to the next available dock, but it was too bad to continue......Getting bad advice is unfortunate, taking bad advice is a Serious matter!!
