Ted Irwin in hospital

Ted Irwin, designer of Queequeg, is in the hospital after being run over by a power boat! Here's an email I received from Gene Gammon, Ted's old partner:

"I was just informed that Ted Irwin is in ICU at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg.

I can find no details in any Florida news but a friend, Tom Casey of Blue Water Sailing mag., was informed by Charlie Morgan this morning and was confirmed.

Apparently he was run over by a powerboat in Kew West at night while going ashore in his dinghy. He was airlifted to Bayfront from the Keys.

Please pray for Ted and hope for the a good and speedy recovery.

Will update all as I learn more.

Regards,

Please be careful on the water!"
