It's Wednesday, and you know what that means! Winds are out of the N/NW at 14 and gusting to 18, and we have a high temp of 71 degrees. If you've got a hat, put it on and get ready to HANG ON TO IT. This is perfect beer can sailing weather if I've ever seen it.
Remember to smile for the photoboat; we'll be sure to have the video of you and your crew up tomorrow as soon as we can. Now, of course, there's also a bit of sailing happening in Newport, RI, this weekend, if you haven't heard.
Teams Dongfeng and Azzam had a fight to the finish in super light air, with the rest of the fleet following behind. We're looking at similar wind conditions with the added chance of showers for both the Pro-Am races and the In-Port race on Saturday. SpinSheet will be on the ground and the water in Newport, and we'll bring you live action as it happens. You can watch the Team Vestas Wind In-Port Race Newport via livestream at 1:45 p.m. on Saturday at volvooceanrace.com or outsidetelevision.com. The Leg 7 Starts online broadcast begins at 1:45 p.m. on Sunday at volvooceanrace.com or outsidetelevision.com.
NBC Sports continues to feature the Life at the Extreme TV show every weekend with coverage at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 17, and Outside TV airs the show at 10:30 p.m. every Monday.
