Your romper suit....:gorgeous:

Knew you´d love it...

Brian, it appears that NZ may be in danger of winning. Any truth to the vile rumor that Ellison plans to bribe NZ to throw the next race?

Seriously, well done so far, and I hope you prevail. I am an inferior American, I guess, but Larry Ellison is not an easy guy to like (maybe impossible) and NZ is a great seafaring nation. Not too bad at auto racing as well, now that I think of it.

:idea:

Must remember to get a beer crate for you to stand on when you next come over...

 

[Jim Craik]

Jim, I agree!

Let me be the first to congratulate New Zeland! No one has worked harder or deserves it more, plus the last Luis Vitton and Cup down in New Zeland some some of the most entertaining "sports" I have ever watched.

Please bring back tacking duels.

 

As they say, it's not over until the fat lady sings.... but we'd have to do something catastrophic to lose it now.

Bloody Kiwis beat Australia at everything so the Yanks should be a pushover.
Go Kiwis.epper:epper:

 

I see the Diamonds beat the Silver Ferns at netball to level the series tonight Pete. Aussies have their moments too.

He who jibes and runs away, lives to jibe another day.

Oracle +31 seconds.

 

[Jack]

I'm a little miffed because I can find no TV coverage at all.

 

[Jim Craik]

Sometimes it's just your day!

A very intertaining afternoon!

On to Saturday...........

Oracle +84 seconds!

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

'Ello, Larry, are you listening?

Good. You're about to get your doors blown off by the Kiwis.

What? Your boat doesn't have any doors?

Damn, they did it already and I missed it. Shit.

 

Aaaarrgghhhhhh!

 

[zollis]

First the wind speed was too high, now the wind is from the wrong direction and yesterday the race took toooo long . About 2 minutes extra time and it would have been all over.

I say the rules need revision.

Sorry, Jim, I'm really not keeping 'current' with the 'Cup. Truth be told, I really don't care who runs off with it! It's not anything I go to bed sweating over! On a scale of 1-10 in the personal 'concerns' department, it rates a -1! :bucktooth:

(I am a truly rotten 'sports patriot'!)

 

[Jim Craik]

Saturday, was a strange day here in the Bay Area, big time rain and wind from the south. Rain in September? (almost never happens), both races canceled.

Sunday, Oracle wins two more!

Its still not close, but it is getting closer........

I do believe the Kiwi's are staring to look over their shoulder.

 

Not wrong Jim.

"I do believe the Kiwi's are staring to look over their shoulder." says Jim.

Jim as I see it, it might be quite possible that the cup can go to Oricale. They have now won four in a row and their boat seems to be faster than TNZ.
