South Carolina | Why didnt they keep covering nz after rounding mark 2 Yeah...crazy. They had a speed advantage in this breeze up and downwind yesterday and there was no need for drastic risks while leading. That will be second guessed for a while.

On the Water | I'm guessing there were issues with Oracle. It's being heard on-board communications.

Naples, FL | I'll be outdoors, no internet, at a pool, watching a swim meet, in Lakeland (leaving here in about 30 minutes, won't be home until after 8pm). Which pool? I know them all. And yes, you'll get 4G in most places. The town is old, but they've all got I-phones and FB to keep up with their grandkids...

Naples, FL | Considering they had them covered by 150m!
What were they thinking!? 150 meters is only about 7 boatlengths... doesn't sound like too much at those speeds, but I agree: What were they thinking?

Michigan | I think they just don't feel like they set the boat up for that level of wind. Probably their butt is just too raw...

Northfield Mn | I can stream it on my phone, but can't watch it on the computer plugged into my tv. F-ing lame
