I will be in SAN the 19th for the IOM R6. Hop a plane.

I am using and LT connected to a 52 hi def flat TV by a HDMI cable. The feed is not Hi def but clear on the screen. The dogs all leave the room at 1 am. Life it hard.

If these things get past 30kts on the next race's windward-reach-reach course, the officials will need Cigarette or Fountain style go fast power boats to keep up. Amazing show of tech but hopefully nothing breaks on US-17 so we can return the Cup back to the States and resume with real racing in AC 34.
