The worst part of this is not that Alinghi went up 1-0 today in the best-of-9 series, but that I did not get to watch one second. My hotel does not have the Versus network that is showing the Cup in America - and the internet in the hotel isn't capable of handling the bandwidth that is the Virtual Live Sailing that allows me to watch the race using GPS data and my computer. It was able to handle the streaming radio - so I got to a least listen to race one. Guess I'll have to wait 3-5 more years to see my next America's Cup Race. Hopefully I'll be watching it LIVE on a chase boat in the waters of the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand...
Here's a picture of TNZ trailing Alinghi on the water. Everyone reading this has now seen as much of the first America's Cup Race as I have. How nice for everyone...

Knock, knock...this is hotel security...your excessively boisterous chants of "KIWI, KIWI, KIWI" are upsetting the others in the hotel (not to mention causing some Boston Terrier's in the hotel to howl endlessly).
Please keep it down or we'll have to ask you to leave.
If you want to watch it in August, we'll record it since we do get Versus here! :)
