I'm optimistic that they will get enough wind within the next hour.

other sites are talking of trying to move the windward mark but at the start both boats are just drifting

valenciasiling.blogspot.com is still running but not updating

The BMW Oracle site says they are moving the course north and slightly east where there is promise of more wind -- like 10 knots.

Good coverage and reception from the americascup.com site so far. Listening to replay of Alingi V New Zealand races in background at the moment.

Oracle racing at least has some talking if you are bored like I was.

The AC twitter site says "no starts after 16:30". I presume that's local time...which means we could see something as late as 10:30am est.

Man think of how psychologically let down you have to be while sitting on postpone all day then having to race at 4:30pm after being out there for 8 hours already.

After months of annoying the sailing community with endless court cases, the weather god pays back...

Bummer that I got up early for nothing. I would say it sucks being one of the racers having to travel all the way back in, but the reality is I would have killed to be on board.

The BMW site hangs up here and there but over all seems to be most seemless for me to watch.

Ted Turner was fired and removed from TBS long ago (for real).. thats what happens when your board of trustees figures out you are overpaid and do nothing.

Well I got up at 3am to watch this. I watched on ESPN 360. It was good coverage with Randy Smyth and Jobson doing a good job filling time. I enjoyed the comentary and thought Jobson was very respectful to both Randy and Cats.

I went to back to bed about 4:30 when ESPN took a break and it was obvious to me that they couldn't get a steady breeze in quick enough to get the race in.

Glad it was agood call.

I couldn't get anything on SA. I'm not sure why. I'd like to have seen some of Casey's chatter.

I can't get ESPN 360, SA or the BMWO site to work. Only thing I can find is I have a 2Ghz processor and it says you need a 2.4. I had to listen to cam lewis on the AC site and then the jungle drums.
Any help would be appreciated.

The SA feed lost signal when they got 15 miles offshore. They're working on a solution now.

Did you try the America's Cup site? It had the best video of all of them (www.americascup.com). I didn't hear any of their announcing (I was watching 360).
