Design team member Mat "Gimp" Bird (USA) and his wife Amy are expecting their first child in a few weeks. But, says the email from Amy that accompanied the wedding picture below (no, not Mat and Amy's wedding!), "Mat has broken a big toe, and we're not sure how he did it." Uh-huh.

Fine timing, Mat! She's due in three weeks and your toe will take 4-6 weeks to heal. You're lucky Amy finds some humor in this -- her email went on to say, "it was a funny site with us at the emergency room at 4 in the morning and me trying to convince Mat that he should be in a wheelchair, to say nothing of me waiting on him hand and foot at the wedding ...."

Not sure how you did it? 0400? Broken in two places? Matty, you are going to take some serious Scheiße over this.

Congrats to sailing team member (grinder) Andrew Scott and his bride Karen Amsbaugh, whose wedding Amy and Mat were all dressed up for. Mat says it was quite the international affair with at least 3 AC teams represented. So who's sending the Blogster some pix of the new couple?


A lame Mat Bird and la embarazada Amy, looking good at the wedding
of Andrew and Karen Scott. You can tell Mat is an AC 31 vet by the nice
LV tie.
