Ready, roll video, action!  May 24, 10:31

There's never a dull moment around here.

Act 11 ended Sunday evening, and the team got a well-deserved day off on Monday. Nonetheless, your Ed. did notice several members of the design, shore and marketing teams here at the Base on Monday and still hard at it.

Everyone was back at work bright and early Tuesday morning when we launched into a series of debrief sessions on every aspect of the campaign. At the same time a number of the sailing and marketing teams are involved in a BMW TV commercial being shot this week here at the Base and out on the water.

The secrecy surrounding the shoot, which involves a prototype BMW yet to be announced, is friendly but firm. We found out first hand. As I said, never a dull moment....

At first, they were not amused when they saw your Ed. nearby
with a camera.

The friendly but firm security man realizes that we are all
batting for the same team. Good thing, as otherwise he had been
getting ready to use that black cloth on your Ed.
