Apparently the owners arrived last night and thus my opportunity disappeared.  I could have gone on the weekend but frankly the weather was horrible and it would not have been a fun time.  They are going to organize a tour of the boat tomorrow though which will be cool.

I was told "Next time".  Fingers crossed there IS a next time.

In the Red Bull Youth America's Cup, lowly Bermuda sits in 3rd place in their group.  In about 20 minutes day 2 starts.  I don't think any work is getting done here now.

I have been going CRAZY trying to find the Youth AC races.  Two are done.  Bermuda is in second place going into the last round of the qualifiers, behind Team New Zealand.  If they qualify this place is going to explode.

I read the results wrong above and found out we came 4th overall in the qualifiers.  I then was wrong again when I assumed we had not qualified, but we have!!  Top 4 advance!  We beat the Oracle trained US team...lol  Although our team was also trained by Oracle.  :)

Really proud of this little island today.

Sadly I won't be here to watch the finals, as my son is graduating.  I will be there in spirit though.

I was on The Carolina Princess out of Moorhead City NC once many years ago and I couldn't believe the Capt. took this boat out in that weather. Those waves had to be 10'+. THEN we go two hours to the reefs and he has to turn around cause a tornado was spotted so it was another two hours in.

I dont get sea sick but I get scared and I was scared. The rest of the boat was both.

I would like to learn how to sail... even if just a
small boat... but then I would love to return to
Scuba diving but the neurologist says NO!

Oracle are being schooled by NZ.  A buddy of ours who is Oracle's physio and nutritionist for Oracle sent a friend a text saying "we will be fine" but I am not sure where his confidence is coming from.  The Kiwis look so smooth around the course and Oracle just dont.  They have the option of splashing a new boat this weekend (the degender only gets this ability) so maybe they added some more cycling grinders.  But even if they do the grinders they have are not Olympic cyclists.  New Zealand have them.

Went and fueled up our boat last evening after getting back from Canada.  We will be out on the water tomorrow watching the races.  The marina is FULL of all sorts of large expensive craft and the traffic to get in and out REALLY heavy.  Quite a test of nerves getting in and out I assure you.
