Sat on Alcatraz beach, I've painted the wife grey and screwed a blowhole in her back, shall I give her a shove?

Oracle extend lead to 164m as they reach the port boundary.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:58:16 PM
In these lightish winds, a few extra puffs can make a big difference but Oracle have a handy lead and are keeping their eye on Team NZ

TIM Halfway up leg 3, USA crosses on port 154 m ahead of NZL on stbd

Oracle tacks back towards the middle of the course. Team NZ still head towards the port

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:58:52 PM
"Good numbers here," says Ainslie

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:59:04 PM
And this where...a giant whale hits Oracle and they capsize....#AmericasCup

ETNZ tack back towards the middle of the course. The lead extends some more for Oracle. Now at 170m.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:59:37 PM
I don't believe in a port advantage because I don't do fortified wines.

Yet again ETNZ sitting behind and needing an Oracle mistake to get back into this.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:59:59 PM
TIM USA on stbd crosses 130 m ahead of NZL on port

Thank heavens it's not best of 11. #AmericasCup

Lots of talk onboard Team Oracle. Pretty quiet on ETNZ.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:00:52 PM
I'm not liking this one bit...Guess the blasted oracle boat is faster...gulp!

Following the race on twitter because the boyfriend is too scared to watch it -_- #AmericasCup #race16 http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BU4ErAoCcAAIsQx.jpg

About two-thirds up this leg. Oracle lead around 130m.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:01:41 PM
I left my start in San Francisco. #AmericasCup

Better check under oracles boat!!!

TIM 2/3 up leg 3, left side, USA on stbd crosses 146m ahead of NZL on port

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 9:02:38 PM
Oracle get up to 20kts as they head towards the port boundary again.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:02:42 PM
Both teams will be consdiering their options at the top mark. Oracle will probably look to go to the right-hand mark to put themselves in the middle of the course and keep their options open

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 9:03:04 PM
Scary...don't believe that Oracle can win so many after losing so many...somethings not right!!

by NerveRacking 9/23/2013 9:03:46 PM
Let's just give Rob Waddel a couple of oars and hope for the best #AmericasCup

by guymontgomerynz via twitter 9/23/2013 9:03:59 PM
Oracle lead at 160m as they eye the top mark.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:04:07 PM
It goes over 200m as Team NZ come out of a tack.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:04:30 PM
Team NZ need a little wind shift to the left to make up some ground here

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 9:04:32 PM
ETNZ have the Greg Norman syndrome

by sspit62 9/23/2013 9:04:53 PM
Oracle have one more tack before the top mark.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:05:10 PM
Team NZ don't appear to be laying the top mark so will need to put in another tack

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 9:05:33 PM
Could the 40 minute time limit come into play again?

by Nsider 9/23/2013 9:05:39 PM
This is no longer fun or exciting. GET IT HOME ETNZ BEFORE MY HEART GIVES OUT

by Lucy 9/23/2013 9:05:44 PM
wind shift, wind shift, wind shift!!!!!!!

by Neri Manuel 9/23/2013 9:05:48 PM
No we're at 20 minutes now. Only downwind leg to go.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:06:02 PM
Oracle tack and set up their mark entry.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:06:25 PM
USA Rounded Mark 3, 21:54.6 after start

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 9:06:55 PM
Looks like it will be more than 20 secs.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:06:55 PM
NZL Rounded Mark 3, 0:19.4 behind leader

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 9:07:14 PM
Oracle round the mark at speed while Team NZ will be slower.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:07:30 PM
Oracle lead at 230m.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:07:51 PM
#AmericasCup ???????? USA LEADING! http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BU4F3lSCIAA39C0.jpg

Team NZ need to find something extra on their side of the course.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 9:08:11 PM
Both boats are foiling well and over 30 knots. As so often happens for the leading boat, Oracle have made a good gain

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 9:08:11 PM
Praying for whales, capsizes, a sudden urge by Spithills to go swimming, anything!!

by NZkiwi 9/23/2013 9:08:17 PM
Come one Oracle, just 3 more wins after this one!

by Adam Slade 9/23/2013 9:08:33 PM
Oracle holding that 200m lead as they both reach the same speeds downwind, around the 30kt mark.
