I like the forecast today! Looking out my window right now, about 200 feet from the harbor's edge, I can see the very tops of the live oaks rustling just a bit. That means 3-5 knots, and it's from the N right now. Lots of sun and zero clouds, translation of which is: Seabreeze by noon alters gradiant for 10-15 of NE going E. That's pretty much money in the bank here, our sea breeze kicks ass. SSTemps are around 65-67 and bikini temps are MUCH hotter, meaning that the breeze is naturally drawn to our college girls.

Justin.TV stats came back, over 3500 people tuned in yesterday at some point, with a surprising number watching the racing on their iPhones, iPads, or other mobile devices. Who knew? Very cool anyway, and today we have a secret special guest that can help with not only the racing, but local history and cool stuff about the harbor, town, and the Tall Ship. And tomorrow we'll have another guest commentator; this one a round-the-world winning solo racer. This just keeps getting better!

Thanks again for checking us out, and a huge thanks to Harken and Layline for underwriting the bulk of this coverage. Please check out both their sites, and take the time to sign up for Harken's Facebook pageto show support for the great things they do for sailing.

Also please show support for Ocean Sailing Academy, Latis Yachting Solutions, and the US Melges 24 Class's "Road To Corpus" campaign, who also make our coverage possible. These are all valued sponsors and important contributors to a sport that we love, and a new way to present it to y'all. We also thank Layline for giving out a nice Henry Lloyd "BREEZE" vest and Atmosphere wicking shirt to two lucky winners yesterday, and we have more great prizes to dole out to intrepid viewers today, so be sure to watch OTWA from Day 2 of Charleston Race Week!

And here's the first HD Highlight Reel from our younguns at Starboard Tack Productions. Pretty good shit, and you can watch it in HD if ya like.

Love getting these, thanks for 'em!

"Have not watched OTW for some time as the first few too much drinking and antics. I am all for fun but needs to be some professionalism and I have to say yesterday rocked. Did not make it into work till it was all done totally enjoyed every minute. Looking forward to the same today"

[RockHead]

Gotta say, Clean and the team have really got it down now. Watched a bit of the Viper, M20 & M24 stuff live yesterday. Fantastic work, I really appreciate how hard it is, and you're now making it look easy.

[Slow Ed]

OK, I gotta make down to that Charleston NOOD next year.

Red "x"s on the video links. I'm running IE 8 IIRC. ANything I nee to do on my end?

Thanks for updates, this regatta looks way cool.

[MR.CLEAN]

Good Morning! This morning we just tried to go out to the offshore race course, but 4-5 ft swells do not mix well with a bunch of electronics! We will definitely be getting out there tomorrow, though, for you offshore followers. Heading in to cover the inshore courses today.

BTW-For what its worth, I thought that some of the early efforts at OTW were pretty sophomoric, but what I've seen this time tells me that you've really learned how to do it. Can't be easy and you all have my respect for what you've been able to accomplish.

I am dropping these at the bottom of all of the links cause I am too tired to see if Anybody put this out so I have no idea if anybody knew they had offshore coverage available all week. I never saw any link on the CRW front page and there are so many links on the yachtscoring page, I don't know if anyone really listened...or cared.
