Neptune's Courtroom

Hurricane Fischer is gone. Between moving, getting married, and a new job, I just couldn't find the time to dedicate to writing that I had hoped. But not to fear! I've incorporated the posts from Hurricane Fischer into my new blog, Neptune's Courtroom.

I envision this blog as being a bit more personal with both long and short form posts. It will be a mixture of Instagram posts from my morning runs, tech tips, thoughts on politics, and my venture into actually joining a yacht club and getting back on the water. Who knows...there might be some short story fiction if I get into a NaNoWriMo mood and possibly some book and movie reviews.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Fun with Foils: America's Cup

AC World Series - Cascais, Day 2

Below is the news for Saturday, the 2nd Race day at Cascais. The match racing officially starts on Wednesday. Apparently these were the preliminaries.

Winston Mcfarlane fell off of Emirates Team New Zealand's boat during one of the races when his winch handle broke. That is some intense grinding.

Emirates Team NZ ending up winning the preliminaries and the speed test so it was a pretty bangup weekend for them. Below are the results of the preliminaries and the speed test.

America's Cup World Series - Cascais (Full Replays)

Below are the full replays for Day 1 of the AC World Series at Cascais. The first one is with the sports commentary and the 2nd one is just video from onboard a mix of the different boats.

It's not quite the high intensity that they advertise but not everyday can have them going 30+ knots right?

America's Cup Uncovered - Episode 2

Another awesome episode about the America's Cup!

This one covers the French, Chinese, and Korean entries for the Cup.

Note: Watch this stuff full screen. It's worth it.

America's Cup Uncovered - Episode 1

The below video is awesome. Plain and simple.

You get some behind-the-scenes footage of the America's Cup meetings, some sweet racing footage, get to know the Skipper of Oracle Racing, James Spithill, and you get more of an in-depth look at Team Emirates NZ. The video plays like a TV show but is far more interesting than anything you were planning on watching.

Give it a look see and tell me you didn't watch the whole thing:



PS: The AC World Series starts in 5 days...
