[Rhodes22-list] Speaking of the Chesapeake...

[elle]

John,,

Thanks for the heads-up on the show...watching extreme
sailing is always fun.

I was on a photo shoot this AM w/some folks who have
sailed these waters longer than I have trod this
earth....they were less than effusive .... a fair amt
of the footage in the show was shot in locales other
than the Bay...we did not have such severe weather at
the time the Volvo boats came to Baltimore ....and one
scene purporting to show spring weather actually was a
shot taken during the Oct. boat show.

Other than that, the WC didn't say much other than to
keep repeating that the Bay has severe weather
sometimes....& show a few establishing shots of Thos
Pt light , the Bay bridge, & the Naval Acad boats. 

Entertaining... but not factual.

One interesting piece was the interview with the guy
who started Sailflow.com. That's a great site for
checking out the wind before going out.

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
