[#29197]

First start today at noon EDT.

30 minute fleet race to seed the match races, 3 of those to follow. Sea breeze not holding yet, but looks promising.

I think it says the

as live

broadcast will start at 14:30 EST on the

tube

, but there's that other thing that says

subject to local broadcast agreements

so who knows?

But it does look like Sunday will be live on NBC Sports - just don't know which one. I am getting Olympic Swimming Trials on my NBC sports channel now, and if they're covering something as relatively obscure as swimming trials, it may also be the channel covering AC races...?

Mark 3 was tucked well up along shore, the pack that went to shore on the first beat got killed, all boats rounded us, moving for Mark 5.

Spithill led at mark 5, Coutts rolled Pirahnah through the top gate, wind just went almost inside out.

Jobson saying anyone can still win...

Spithill 1st, Coutts 2nd, Piranhah 3rd. Artemis 4th, Energy 5th. Swordfish, Korea last. NZL somewhere in the middle.

No time delays (other than windshift-related) here in Newport.

Look for me in the red (probably only) PFD.

Seabreeze is on, about 10 kts at the moment, all assets on the move.
