Am I the only one excited about it?

It seems to me that I'm one of a very few people excited about the olympic regatta? There's certainly not that many people posting on here discussing the ins/ and outs and I thought we'd get more traffic here after each race.

OK so it's peak holiday / regatta season, but I'm sure in Abersoch/Pwhelli and loads of other places it'll be on all the tvs..

For me I'm loving the live coverage, ok so the wind is pants., there's lots of current and weed, but as I've now got interactive I can hop right to shirley & Richard's dulcet tones..

But the best bit is the timing, unlike athens when all I could follow was on-line or sydney when all the action happended when you wre asleep, with Qingdao I just need to get up early and 5:55am it's on with the red button ready for the 5 minute gun..

Bring on Ben, Sarahs & Pippa tomorrow..

I may not be posting anything but I've been getting up at 6.00am each
morning to watch it on the BBC.   I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Originally posted by Stefan Lloyd I'm following it every morning, with the sound up on the BBC coverage most of the time. Watching it.....some......mostly the mark roundings. There is only so much time I want to spend watching boats wafting around in 5 knots of breeze. I can't say I'm all that interested in a blow-by-blow discussion on what happened.

True and the 470's curently is intensely dull...but it still amazes me how much that Richard in particular misses...1st windward mark after a black flag start sound signals and boats sailing off the course...then about a lap later Richard goes.."welll we're expecting some boats to be ocs"..yeah like the ones that were thrown out at the top mark..

Full marks to the boys from Royal St. George YC however...
