Erik Avanier goes behind the wheel of Miss Geico race boat
He became the first-ever television news reporter to be allowed to operate an official race boat during race season -- the day before a race at a major show. This was supposed to a rehearsal for the race between the Miss Geico race boat and the Geico Skytypers air team, but weather caused safety concerns, which limited the rehearsal to the St. Johns River instead of the Atlantic Ocean. Avanier flew with the Geico Skytypers years ago to see what it was like to perform in an airshow. This time around, he wanted to know what it was like to race the Skytypers in the Miss Geico race boat. He got to see what it's like to get behind the wheel of the Miss Geico race boat.
