surveillance aircraft, cargo aircraft, and today it will be done by a helicopter -- the helicopter being ability to get close to the vessel. >> so now 300 miles out at sea, for us land lubbers what does that mean in terms of how far they are and how soon they might be coming back? >> you know, it's 300 miles offshore is a long ways. the ability to get out there with a cutter our helicopter would be different any further than 300 miles. of course, this case started with a -- a -- at least 400 miles off the coast. so our helicopters have only

that range of 300, so that's -- >> okay. so we understand there were 13 people on that yacht participating in that race, but three of them are suffering from serious injuries. what can you tell us about the injuries that they have? >> yes, three of the 13 people on the vessel are injured. how serious the injuries are, we're not exactly sure, but we are -- all we have are reports. we don't have any physical contact, and so we are still -- two people have injuries to their rib cage area, but certainly that's a concern -- >> okay. so petty officer levi read with the coast guard, thank you so much for talking with us on the phone this morning. well apologize for the breaking up, but figure better to have

if you have some work to do in the yard, get it done today. rain returns on tuesday, but sunshine this afternoon. if politics is the art of the possible, two major political figures may be stretching the definition to the limit. california democratic governor jerry brown and republican presidential candidate mitt romney. for more on this odd couple, let's bring in political analyst

lardy gerston. >> good politicians find a way to build consense when nobody else can. in brown's case he's trying to bring together the left and right to support his temporary tax initiative. recently he accommodated the left by changing the proposal, if you will, to increase income taxes on the wealthy, and decrease the increase, if you can follow that, of sales taxes that many think would be harmful to the poor. so the question is whether he's agitated wealthy and business elements in order to accommodate everybody else. but if brown succeeds, this is going to be a big thing. if he succeeds in building consensus, california will go a long way toward fixing this huge budget deficit. if he doesn't, the state will be in trouble, so much so that few

people will even imagine the kind of mess we'll be in, so it's a big thing to move to the left. >> let's talk about romney. >> same thing, it's not talking, but the nomination. he has a more difficult problem. he's trying to move to the right. if he can't win the republican nomination without getting that conservative vote, if you will. they're really the base, if you will, of other republican party. to do that, romney's had to shift his politics, had to shift is a lot, way to the right. it just hasn't been natural for him to do. so he's had to remake himself. to his credit, romney has won over a lot of cove serve tiffs, including most leslie paul ryan. can romney persuade republicans that he's authentic. if he can't, he's mud. how much are these examples

of good politics, and how much is just saying what they have to say to get what they want. >> like pandering. that's the big question. if we accept the definition of politics, as we had, that's the art of 9 possible. it makes sense to move where you have to in order to win. on the other hand, if we insist on principles over compromise, both brown and romney will fail as leaders. either way they both have big challenges to win battles in the public in the months to come. it's easy to look at these guys to say he's moving this way or that way, but to win you have to find the middle ground, wherever it takes you. otherwise, if it's just on principle, you'll be on the outside looking in. >> you want your politicians to be in the middle, am i wrong?

>> there are a lot of people saying why isn't he or she staying strong? why are they caving in? you can stay strong, but if you stay strong, you never will get anywhere. if you find a middle ground, you have a much better chance. >> very nice to have you back. larry has been in thailand. we're not the only ones who think you have awesome stuff to say. >> it's a wonderful place, they're working toward their own consist consist, he followed a princess. >> i did. >> no pressure there. if you want any of larry's political perspective, nbcbayarea.com, and we have an app for the iphone, for the ipad, and so you can find him there as well.

all right. welcome back here on this sunday. we are looking at skies clearing across the bay area, as we saw some rain yesterday, about a quart to a half inch fell all the way up to the north bay, so now we are done with that system, but we still have a very strong northwesterly flow, the jet stream is right over head, so the clouds will be zipping on through, but we're talking about

sunshine, so enjoy this first day of april. no april fool's joke here in the weather department. winds still gusting up to 14 miles an hour. even up towards novato as well. overall the winds are the main story today. temperatures in the 40s, but we still have some windchills in the 30s from santa rosa over towards fairfield. here's what to expect for today. breezy conditions from the south bay to the north bay. that does mean the coastal areas as well. we have a gale warning in effect and high surf warning in effect, so a double whammy at the coast. high pressure is building, with that very strong jet stream in place, that's why our winds are going to remain very blustery. our next system still out across the open pacific. that's going to move through, as we head towards tuesday night into wednesday. that's when our next change of rain moves back into the area.
