Being a transplanted Kiwi living 600 miles from my boat and the ocean, during a long, cold winter, I often feel very sailing-deprived. There is a shortage of shrinks in this city who have an understanding of the emotional state of the land-locked sailor. This wonderful site and it's fine readers has helped prevent me from slipping into a nasty, deep depression. At risk of severe censure, I am predicting the Emirates New Zealand team will destroy the Swiss (no ocean there), the Americans (Oracle US, owner with no class and way too much cash), the Italians (know more about nice handbags and doubtful pasta), the French (they apparently wash down snails with huge quantities of bad wine) etc.... I am having trouble finding good North American TV coverage. Versus apparently has it but something on-line would be great. I guess I may have to upgrade from the rabbit-ears. Can anyone direct me to online coverage of the Cup starting April 3 so I can shake this thing? Signed, Suffering in Cowtown.
), but I found the ability to change viewpoints, display race parameters (speed , distance vmg, advantage, etc) in real time to be fantastic! If/when I view the races, I'll certainly have that software running on my lap-top alongside my recliner as I watch. The software appears to be improved over the earlier versions - which were also good for their time. Of course, at my advanced age I'll have to watch the stress levels induced by watching cartoon boats creep over a computer screen. It's almost as good as watching my anti-fouling paint dry each spring *5 . It's a shame if the TV coverage does not start until the Louis Vuitton semi-finals on May 14. Go Kiwis! Derek
