I think CTV did a pretty decent job covering the flame crossing the creek.

I watched the coverage off and on all day and I think that Hugh Fisher & Kamini Jain had more screen time with the torch than any others involved in the relay on the day.

Their was little to no coverage of the flotilla but that apparently had more to do with an overzealous relay official who kept them all 500 m back from the flame, rather than the 2-3 boat lengths they had all expetected.

Yes, they definitely covered the flame on the water very well.  I should have clarified that. 

But they did not cover the other boats. 
It would have been really nice to see all the other teams/boats out there in support as well.  I was looking for them.

Someone just posted on Facebook a video where all the other DB's and OC's were visible.  It looked awesome!  CTV missed the boat on that (pardon the punn)  It would have looked really great on TV.

In any case, it was so great to see DB's included in the torch run.  Very exciting especially for those of us involved int he sport!

I heard the same reports. Why not let the people share the joy of such an event...
