Paul Cayard is in Bermuda.  On the BT commentary boat today I believe.

 

 Here's part of his email today:  "If there is to be a comeback, it is going to be through exceptional sailing on the part of the USA team, something that frankly has been glaringly missing in the America’s Cup.

 

"It isn’t that the Kiwis are doing exceptional things.  They are fast, but so is Oracle now.  

They are sailing consistently and they make high percentage decisions.  

On top of that, Oracle is making it easy for the Kiwis.

This entire series, starting with the start of race 1 when the American team was penalized for being over the start line early, has been a demonstration of sub par sailing by USA.

The start of the second race of today was an example of that.  

Spithill tried to get tricky and Burling simply hooked him, parked him and left him for dead."

Stuff has reported that Pete is saying bye bye and waving as he pulls out at the start. That link makes it clear that He's saying "go up". Poor journalism once again.
