Americas Cup

@bovidae I came across the harbour bridge an hour ago and the flags were hanging on their poles. Zero wind.
And this doesn't help either:
“There’s a very high percentage we won’t get any racing today. The prognosis going forward isn't a whole lot better the next couple of days,” Murray warned as a high pressure system envelopes the country.
“We will go out and try our hand on Course E. We could get a NNE coming down the channel. It’s just a tricky day, I’m afraid.”
A return to level 1 also means Murray can use the “stadium course” that runs between North Head and Rangitoto Island through, frustratingly, it isn't a good option in very light winds. -

We're getting smoked upwind and downwind. Fair play Italy, long way back from here

Nah, TNZ was in a strong position in that pre-start before the postponement.
TNZ needs to use their port entry advantage in race 4, and win the start and protect the right side of the course.

Made a lot of time in that second leg.

I'm a walking goddamn Americas Cup jinx. The Oracle comeback started when I started watching... the very 1st race i watched, we were about to win the whole thing, then ran out of time. Then.... I watched the rest, as we lost race, after race, after race.
And in this one, Wenerei, I missed race 1, went to pub, watched race 2. Today, watched race 1, missed the start of race 2... I'm just hoping this lead is enough to be jinx-proof. -
