I came sooooooo close today - I was doing the Advanced Cycle, and as I was picking up my last 2 flags in town, I noticed that the boat was at the dock. Instead of going to the finish line, I raced down the ramp to see if I could get on, but by the time I got there it was on it's way.

I am kicking myself now - I should have forgotten about the last 2 flags and headed to the dock right away - maybe the boat would have still been there.

Here is something interesting that happened though... When I got down to the dock and the boat was adrift, I decided to ride off the dock at the very end, just to see what would happen. I was resurrected facing the finish line, just several pedals away.... nowhere near the dock! It wasn't even near the last flag I had attained - I was positioned to pedal maybe 6 times and cross the finish line.
