The Amazing Race 14 Speculation on Spoilers
north09:
If I remember correctly, they released the TAR cast like 2 days before the Survivor cast last time.
So, why boats?

Something I read but, the boats can also be used for any leg of the race, I'm guessing here.

by boats? in the LA/OC area? Well we could rule out Long Beach and Santa Monica since they've done those places already. I doubt they would repeat those places. San Pedro is where all the big ships come into the LA harbor....however that's not very scenic. Marina Del Rey....however that is way to close to LAX. I would think they would start somewhere a little further away.
In OC.....Newport maybe? Lots of places where smaller boats (fishing, sail, yachts) come into. Huntington Beach.....I can't think of any place around there boats can come in and out of.
Hmmmm, how about this....(thinking outside of the box).....since the final destination appears to be Hawaii, how about they start on an island? Catalina island. It's just off the coast. There are boats/ferries that take people to and from the island daily. I think it takes about an hour. Those boats go to Marina Del Rey, Long Beach, and Newport Beach. Though I can't say how often they run. Of course they could rent them out and allow only the first 5 to come to the mainland on the first one at a set period and the other to leave 15-30 min later on the next one. Or they could have boats with captains ready to take them to the mainland and it's a race to a set point on the mainland with a bunch of boats. There they would have cars waiting for them so they could drive themselves to the airport.

If there is a perfect place for a Pit Stop in Guilin, TPTB found it!
This is the Peak of the Luminous Moon in the Folded Brocade Mountains, overlooking the city of Guilin from the north, and Pit Stop in a race around the world! (Less poetic official translators call it Bright Moon Peak.)
Production closed the entire compound from 6pm on the 17th (the usual time vendors pack up and go home), and stayed ON the hilltop the entire night. There was a TPTB security team of six. (Geez, how much security do you need?) The peak's really just a courtyard with a little shelter, but the views here are marvelous. According to those who witnessed production, they have been hanging around for two days beforehand (since the 15th), and finally set up lights and a few tents for the big event, on the night of the 17th.
The people I talked to remembered rain that afternoon, when a few members of production popped by. The main activity, though, started at around 9pm. About 50-60 sandwiches were catered for the night, and a huge crowd started streaming in from 12am to 3am. It's such a huge group those I've talked to couldn't differentiate between crew and cast, but I guess those are our racers! (So late?)
Word of caution to the racers:
PS Had the incredible luck to transit in Bangkok on the way home, and just happened to dig up something on Nickasingh's Phayathai Palace find! Your guess: US, Israel or Asia?
