TVS is proud to announce that we will be streaming LIVE video from the starts and finishes of the Tybee 500. Technology is a beautiful thing and as long as we have 3g coverage (we only use verizon so this shouldn't be an issue) we should be able to bring this to you for free! It wont be cinema quality, nor will it be produced - but it will give everyone at home a sense of what its like on the beach every morning. We'll try to get as many finishes as we can.

We'll be releasing more information soon at velocitysailing.com but all broadcasts will be announced via our twitter feed @velocitysailing

Oh yeah - is free. Did I mention that?

Last week I announced that we would be streaming live video from the starts. I with-held more information so I could legitimately test the system before I put it to the ultimate trial on the beaches of Florida.

My Verizon Droid is running a program called "Ustream Broadcaster". It will stream low quality but LIVE video over its 3g connection to a server where you, the consuming masses can view it in real time. All videos will also be uploaded to our youtube channel upon successful broadcast. We'll link to that when the first videos are uploaded and available.

Every morning, we should begin the live broadcast at just before 9:55AM. Since I am pushing TVS 2 (Tad), my lovely wife has agreed to hold the camera and catch as much action as possible during the actual starts. When we go live, an update will be made to our twitter account @velocitysailing. A couple of disclaimers I have to make:

1) Even though I'm using Verizon, I cannot guarantee that I'll have adequate data coverage to provide this at every stop. I cannot guarantee that Ustream will be a good connection for you. In other words, the whole thing could fall apart on a technical level - but I'm giving it the college try. Any complaints will be refunded their money.

2) The work will be completely amateur. Please do not complain about a shaky camera or wind noise blowing into the microphone because there's likely nothing that I can do to fix it.

3) I'm doing this because, as far as I know, no other videography is taking place for the race and this event requires that someone capture the drama on the beach as it happens.

Live from 95 southbound just into GA. An alligator in the road brought TVS 2 and hundreds of cars and trucks to a dead stop. We'll keep you updated, but this ruins our plans for pickup of other team members at Miami airport this afternoon.

Check out the Team Velocity Sailing facebook page for the latest pictures.

is that a "real" alligator or trucker speak?

In trucker speak, an "alligator" or "gator back" usually refers to a rather large piece of tire tread in the road. This information is usually followed with a lane designation and the closest mile marker.

(yes, I spend too much time listening to a CB while driving all these regatta miles...but it breaks up the boredom sometimes).

We're moving again....slowly. Don got caught working on the boat in the middle of the road when traffic started moving again. eek


Edit: it was real Jake. They don't shut down three lanes of traffic for a tire blowout.
