I wonder how reliable those trackers are though, just a while ago I saw Mischa and JC up front and now in the middle of the pack.

You have to click on each team to see when they last pinged and do a little math based on the scale at the bottom of the screen - they are starting to spread out a little now, but after making the Cape, the fleet was really tight.

The cape rounding has kept the fleet offshore a bit. Most of the fleet is keeping their line pretty far out. However, It looks like Trey, Royal Yellow and Jake have made a hitch in. It will be interesting if that pays off for them.

It's a shame that the tracker can't have wind direction arrows overlaid on it...
Next maybe we could have virtual boats that we could compete against them...

I think the fact that the two lead F18s took a hitch in and then gybed back indicates there is good pressure on the outside. But they are quite a ways out - the 20s might have some nice shore compression to work with.

Looked at the track and they are both still headed for shore. The Icon seems to point north no mater which way the boat is going.

Things have gotten worse. The computer part of the tranny needs replaced at $3400 -- Ouch!
Worse, there is a crack in the transmission casing and it squirts out fluid while operating.
Trying to find someone to temp weld it. If not, maybe another $10,000.
Now I am weighing this against its value. Hmmm! How do you start a flood?

Trey, Jay, or anyone else in the race, sailors or ground crew, I would sure appreciate some sort of recap of the event and any pics.

Looks like those that took the hitch inshore first are really paying off.

Hard to tell who has the lead.. since Team Yellows track time is 9 minutes later than Trey's.

Agree - the top two 20s are looking golden along the shore.

Wow - top two F18s are really duking it out. Both have reached the shoreline and are really tight. Epic!

Yep! the tracking is great! May not be perfect, but it sure beats the old dead-reckoning estimations we used to do.

The live video is pretty cool: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/velocitytad
If you would put it on a tripod or something the quality would be even better, audio is great though.

almost. Different states have different laws regarding the license plates on trailers. The state where the trailer I'm towing (not my trailer mind you) doesn't give plates for trailers. Florida does. The beach patrol officer came up to me and derek on the beach not once, but twice... and told us that he could write us citations on the spot for not having license plates. He didn't like the fact that I told him that in the state where the trailer is owned, they don't plate trailers, and he told me that I needed to change my attitude or else I was going to basically be arrested. My wife thanked the not so nice officer before I could take him up on his threat (Frank would have got me out of jail, I'm confident) and we went along.

Needless to say that I will never willingly bring my tourist dollars to Daytona Beach after being threatened like that for doing nothing wrong.

Tad I wish you had your phone on for that conservation. That would have been a good video.
