At video time stamp 1:55, you'll see a fishing boat pass along the bottom of the screen crossing the course. Ugh. The waves set up by that fishing boat appear bigger on the West (left) side of the course and at video time stamp 3:02 the waves caused several of the blades of the Penn boat to catch more air than water as reported by the rowers. The Penn coxswain protested, but the protest was denied. I couldn't tell if that was enough to affect the outcome of the race but it sure as hell didn't help. Sigh...
