Long Beach, California | 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.

Long Beach, California | 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.

Daytona Beach | 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.

Long Beach, California | Agree - the top two 20s are looking golden along the shore.

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

+31NL | 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. | | | Re: TYBEE 500 HOTLINE

Wilmington,NC | 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. | | |
