-[no discernible dialog]

-after three elimination heats,

It came down to me and turner

Going after the last flag.

He said I only beat him 'cause my arms were longer

And that that wouldn't matter In the final event--

The dory race.

Turner was with newman.

I was with greg.

There were dories From all eight beaches.

It was twice Around the buoy and back.

Heading towards the finish,

Turner's dory was so far ahead, That some of the other boats

Were just starting Their second laps.

That's when it happened.

Turner got out of his dory For the run to the finish line.

I was right behind him.

Bud hubbell's boat Flipped in the surf,

And he was Knocked unconscious.

Turner and I ran Back in to get him

Turner got to him first.

Another dory Was heading in.

He put his body between Hubbell's and the dory

As it crashed down.

As I carried him out, I could feel his back Was broken.

He kept telling everyone That it was no big deal

That he was all right.

He insisted that even though I was carrying him,

That he was the first one Out of the water...

And that I owed him A dinner.

-what happened With him and megan?

-I don't know, exactly.

Just ended.

-just tell me one thing--
