[Paddlewise] Ecco-Challenge Morroco

I can only assume that many of you were glued to your TV last night watching the
Ecco-Challenge Morocco "HOW NOT TO sea kayak" race on the Discovery Channel.
Although I have many observations about what I saw, the most stunning is that I
saw no one properly dressed for 62 degree water.  I was watching so many
paddlers chatter and suffer from hypothermia that I had to build a fire in my
wood stove to keep from getting hypothermia at home.
I also found myself hollering "brace you fools" every time a boat went over in
the surf.
Did anyone else watch it and what were your thoughts?

    Power your boat with carbohydrates,
    not hydrocarbons.
