That was a good race even though the Kiwi's lost. I was losing my patience with the long delays. Wassupwitdat? Man oh man I thought they would never get started. I dig all the production stuff the TV people have been doing to make it interesting to the non-sailor. Having the cameras and microphones aboard give it an interesting perspective. New Zealand has some catching up to do now. Is their boat better under higher winds? The Kiwi's have not had the advantage of competition to help them gell as a crew. Meanwhile Alinghi as how many races under their belt? How much of this had to do with mistakes that the captain makes? Were there many? They may have explained this while I was looking at the inside of my eyelids every once in a while. The race ended rather late on my side of the world. I learned a little bit more about sailing now. I should do much better this summer aboard the SS Over Easy. -Gilligan P.S. How come I didn't see any drink hilders, beer coolers or barbecues on the back of those two boats? Polvo's method of racing seems to be a little bit more fun. Neither team had a water balloon cannon either... :(
