captjoe06:
I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that those vidcaps are of Eastern Point Yacht Club. See the railing in the left hand side of the shot? That is the railing that leads down tro the dock where they get off the boat. My best friend grew up two houses away from EPYC and I basically grew up wih him and his brothers in that house. When we were young we would go to record hops at EPYC.
In the map below they line up in the northwest corner of where the pool is.

I'll make a google map of their destination from leaving The dock in the inner harbor to the outer harbor and Eastern Point Yacht Club and then the only way they can get off Eastern Point and down Eastern point Road and onto East Main Street where my wife ran into the string of smart cars and gave directions to one of the teams. After that don't know exactly what route they took but up til that point I am 100% certain.
In the Google Map Below I outline the route that they took with a line depicting the route-

Where did you see that please? Channel and time? If y'all will keep track of that, you have a better chance of getting caps!

Hey! I think I saw the same promo. I came on here hoping someone had caught it and put up caps already. Anyway, it was during Big Brother. It was delayed here in the Bay Area because of football, so BB came on at 1:37AM. Saw some sort of task involving teams in some body of water, and one team getting frustrated (might have been Jill and Thomas?) And the promo ended with Chad and Stephanie and I also noticed that they looked like they were sitting in the backseat of a very small, tight automobile of some sort...
georgiapeach:
Okay, that promo shows the start line, the Smart cars from the start to the airport in Boston, and a task..looks like they have to get a purple flag in the water. My guess is that this is a start line task and is in Gloucester, but can't confirm. Steph and Chad are looking way happy, and we know they were one of the 3 teams on the first flight.
Working on getting the promo for y'all!!
georgiapeach:
Promo! Sorry I don't have the actual promo video, and these are not HD, but :wohoo:
Clearly shows the start, the Smart Car, the road from Gloucester (?) and then...a task!
Is this a start line task getting them on the first flight (only three)??
Or is this the comp for the Express Pass? Or does that go later to the winner of the first leg??
The purple could be a banner for the knight task as well... lots to think about!
Chad and Stephanie look thrilled, and we do know they made the first flight.
