Pusser's Painkiller Thriller  Pusser's Painkiller Thriller - the start off Pusser's Marina Cay, Photo courtesy of Pusser's Rum Tortola, British Virgin Islands, January 17, 2005 - Twenty miles of "no pain, no gain" downwind sailing saw Ewan Anderson emerge victorious in the Pusser's Painkiller Thriller held this weekend (January 15). This windsurfing event in the British Virgin Islands, and resurrected for 2005, took competitors from Pusser's Marina Cay to Peg Leg Restaurant at Nanny Cay Marina and was not for the feint hearted. Although obviously breezy at the skippers' briefing, it was not until the leading sailors reached Beef Island Bluff, with 4-6 foot standing waves and winds reaching thirty knots, that they realized the race was going to be one of endurance and survival. "Brutal" was how one competitor described the race at the finish and race organiser Owen Waters of Island Surf And Sail described it as "twice as extreme as we'd anticipated" and estimated their average speed at 25-30 miles an hour. results: 1.
