No commentary from Jobson..... That really sucks....
closed video and reopened it. Commentary is back... NBC is what sucks...
Jobson said GBR and USA were sitting on each other. recommends Railey get away since Ainsley has match racing experience.

Lots of Chinese walking about... Looks like a nice marina. Needs wind, though...
Well, I can't watch anymore... hope to see the replay, if NBC allows it...
