Ha! I was on live TV, red life jacket here [at 4:02-4:03 (don't blink), several random times after that]:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgW-t_so-t0My job: "I lift things up and put them dooowwwwnnn." Flags, that is, 3, 5 or 7. I also got to use my PRO experience and keep the gate square. Best mark boat job ever.
I was originally slated to be on the left windward mark, you know, the one that got hit several times, and just about got out of the way when ETNZ lost it...
I did walk the shore on Sunday morning before we went out, the crowd was definitely watching the F18 races, with surprisingly knowledgeable comments.
