Have you ever seen a scorpion the size of your hand? U.S. Olympic team sailor Randy Somnitz squashed one just that size in a hotel room during the 1998 IMCO North American Championships in Telchac, Mexico, in the Yucatan Peninsula. But giant scorpions were the least of the 40 competitors' problems encountered at the week-long event.

With racing beginning at 1:30 in the afternoon each day, the nights were long and energetic, complete with freestyle shows in the hotel pool and skinny-dipping in the gulf. ESPN Mexico interviewed some sailors on the event's only lay day, while other competitors toured Mayan ruins and checked out the nearby capital city of Merida.
