2006 Tybee 500 Set to Begin

Coverage of the 2006 Tybee 500 will start this Saturday, May 13th, on the Tybee 500 homepage located at www.Tybee500.com

Rockledge Engineering's multimedia team consisting of Brian Karr, Chuck Harnden, and John Williams will be traveling up the coast to capture all of the action of this year's race.

Viewers will be able to follow along on www.Tybee500.com as never before, with frequent text updates, photo galleries, and a state of the art video player. Video updates will be posted daily including onboard cam footage, the exciting starts and finishes, interviews, and certainly a few surprises.

In addition to the racing action, the Rockledge Engineering team will be following the behind-the-scenes stories of the teams as they compete in one of the toughest sailing endurance races in the world.

JC,

We brokered a deal with SA to get them to link up with BK.

Also rest assured I have duty during Sunday. God forbid something were to happen to any of you. BUT if something were to happen and you require helicopter assistance I will be there to help you out.

Go Team Coast Guard!

We've gotten almost everything packed up. Just a few more things to toss in the truck before we head south. Team Seacats should be onsite Friday afternoon and we can't wait to get started! Along with superior coverage provided here on Catsailor, there will be other spots all with a unique perspective on the race. Tybee 500 site looks like it will be buzzing with activity, we'll have hourly race coverage, details about our team, AND the AdventureOnline.tv daily webcast at www.teamseacats.com. Other sites to watch (all of which will also have the AdventureOnline.tv webcast) will be Tad and Trey's site at www.velocitysailing.com, of course here at www.catsailor.com, and www.sailinganarchy.com. The www.tybee500.com site also looks like it too will be buzzing with activity. This should be quite a show!

P.S. Please also remember that a lot of us can't do things like this without the help from our sponsors. I'm not asking you to buy anything ... but please click around and look at their sites - if you do find their products and services interesting (we've got some neat stuff happening this year!), PLEASE let them know where you found them! It helps us and helps our sport grow making things like this race possible.

SA is supposed to have the AdventureOnline.tv video and some occasional coverage...or so I thought? At this point, we haven't arranged to do anything directly with them.

You guys can still pick up that old-style EPIRB signal right? <img src=

Yep, we will probably make fun of it all the way there, but you will never find out. So do not worry. <img src=

Robi:

I just looked over your site wildergfx.com and could not help but notice a very familiar graphic. I probably should be flattered and would be if you had asked to copy it. I know it is not an exact copy but how much closer could it get?

Because I could not show it here I have uploaded it to (attachment):

Later,
Dan

Dan I sent you a PM regarding it, did you ever recieve it or read it?

I totally thought you blew me off.

If you wish, we can continue this chat via PM. I dont think this should be made a public issue.

Sorry I have never checked my PM as I did not know they were there. I did just check and I see them. This is why I list my email in my profile. I have received numerous emails regarding things on Catsailor. I would have thought that this was the way to talk.

Later,
Dan
