Yesterday's Molokai to Oahu race streaming was a ground breaking first. If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you do something like this. You can replay both the streaming and the dots and synchronize the starts. That way you'll have a clear idea of what's happening in the race, while the commentators were a bit clueless about the standings.

Below is the streaming, these are the dots. Final results here. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, I recommend to watch the last 20 minutes of the race starting at minute 1:47.

    Small southerly energy at the buoys, but I caught a nice set on the webcam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
