Me looking forward:
Me looking aft (with butterflies flying!):
Of course, there are more problems with controlling the camera. My freakin' nostrils are huge and from below is not my best angle. But at least I'll have some proof that I was there.

The Cameraman's Plight
Unfortunately, I'm the chief documenter of our Pacific Cup 2008 race. I'm videoing and photographing and writing about the preparations and the race. The good news: the blog is written entirely from my perspective. The bad news: I'm not in ANY pictures. But I can solve that.

Well HELLO, Cap'n Hottie McHotterson! ;-)
Dog, you're supposed to point the camera in the opposite direction.
Err, Christy, did you *see* the nostrils?
Joe, you're the fine arts guy, how does that work again?
next time try to aim so the spinn pole looks like it's going through your ears...
So that's one hand for the boat, one hand for the camera, and... the other hand for the camera? Something's not adding up here.
It must be those shoes. You're counting on those shoes keeping you on deck. Transpac-ers are certainly a courageous lot. Now, single-handed transpac-ers would not take risks like that. Can you imagine Nietzsche wearing shoes like that?
O-docker...you're living the comfy life over there with your concrete docks, dockboxes and lack of derelicts. Us A-dockers have learned to acclimate to unusual situations such as not having a third hand. It's like inner city kids being tough because they have to.
I just will myself to stay on deck and count on 20K pounds of ballast to keep the boat level in the 1-2 knot wind. Remember this was pre-shoes, now I wouldn't even have to do that.
Yes, we live the lush life here on the Berkeley Riviera. On race nights, savory zephyrs of grilling sirloin and chanterelles waft down from the yacht club terrace, gently mixing with the jasmine of our manicured gardens. Peacock and pheasant patrol the docks. The washrooms and baths are adorned in Carrara marble.
All is not bliss, though. Last month, I was fined for failing to finish my docklines in Flemish coils.
Nostril dysmorphic disorder (or NDD) is a relatively common, often severe, and under-recognized nasal image disorder. People with NDD experience distressing or impairing preoccupations with perceived flaws in the appearance of their nostrils. People with NDD are obsessed with the belief that something’s wrong with how their nostrils look. They may describe their nostrils as looking ugly, unattractive, deformed -- or even “freakin huge”.
The good news is there are effective treatments for NDD. NDD isn’t vanity. It is a bona fide medical disorder that often gets better with the right treatment. Call 1-900-FIX-NOSE right now.
Mute nostril agony.
