ROUGH WATERS
Departing the Pit Stop in first place at 7:27am, the Paolo family opened their clue to discover they needed to walk to a cove known as Playa Maracas. Once there, one Team member had to swim out to a buoy where their next clue was attached.
After Tony Paolo stripped down and dove into the water, Nick Linz and Wally Bransen followed the elder Paolo’s lead. While the younger, stronger Nick retrieved the clue and headed back to shore, an exhausted Tony clung to the buoy for dear life, shouting for rescue swimmers to aid him.
As Tony received help, Nick and his siblings opened their next clue to learn they needed to travel almost 60 miles to the town of Grecia and a find La Iglesia de Metal, a metal church brought to Costa Rica from Belgium in the 1800s, where an altar boy would hand them their next clue. By the time the Linz siblings found a telephone to call a taxi, both the Paolos and the Bransens caught up, resulting in a three-way race to the church.
