Day 8: Breeze On  Jul 1, 11:38

Looks like a good seabreeze for this afternoon's racing. Just what the doctor ordered for our remaining winner-take-all semi-final match with ETNZ.

Here is Dyer's pairing list. Bit complicated given some of the semis are completed, e.g., yesterday Alinghi beat Luna Rossa twice -- those two are on standby until our match is over as the winner advances to the penthouse against Alinghi and the loser to the outhouse against Luna Rossa.

Truth is win, lose or draw today, it's another day at the office: testing, training and learning, whether racing ETNZ, Alinghi or Luna Rossa. The goal is to win the America's Cup, not necessarily Act 12 (though we'd sure like to finish ahead of ETNZ and Luna Rossa for the Louis Vuitton ranking points).

Interesting to note that overnight Alinghi changed their boat.

Nice! Finally a good seabreeze, for only the second time in Act 12.
