And here's a request from Pepe Ribes to the people of Galway (he was there last time too!):

"I am looking forward to seeing the people of Galway – I remember the warm welcome we got at 4am last time and I hope it will be the same today!"

@ Kevin Thanks. I kept trying to look behind the TV ;)

by stief 7/2/2012 7:14:22 PM
I think it is filtered with similar technology as you find in your smart phone. Non human sounds just seems to be blocked. I guess it is the same.

Chicago...open a new IW window...come to this site and then open the Livestream tab,...most of the time it shows the 3d visualization but every 30 mins there is live video/audio from one of the oats

Camper doing it Go boys

by @Mr_PaperArtsy 7/2/2012 7:15:15 PM
Groupama is offshore with more wind. they will wait for a lift then gybe. also, if they gybe to soon, they will head in land where the wind is lighter and have to gybe more to get out while the other boats get offshore wind.

by Donald 7/2/2012 7:15:17 PM
campa's 'officially' closer to the next point!!!
