35th Americas Cup

[Curval]

So we took our boat out to the races today.  For the frigging LIFE of me I could not get our anchor to catch and hold.  So, we just trolled up and down the outside of the course and cooked our burgers etc. on the move.  I got fed up with other boats zooming in and stealing our spots too, must have moved 20 times because of that crap.

Anyway, we still had a great time and at least Oracle finally showed up.  About time.

After the races we dropped anchor in an area called Paradise Lakes had some drinks and a swim and then headed back in.  Very pleased with my docking, I am getting better at it every time.

NZ can win the Cup today.

Yep.  6-1 now, they only need to win one.

Oracle have been completely outclassed by better sailing thus far.

I was just down at my boat washing her down and a guy with a Kiwis accent and an Emirates Team NZ shirt on came flying up to me and offered me pretty much whatever I wanted if I could get him and his friends up to Dockyard.  I told him not to worry about it and was unhooking shore power when he got a call saying the friends had found someone going up there.  In a thick Kiwis accent he said "You mate are a LEGEND."  lol.  Kind of cool.  Glad I didn't have to go.

Race 8 coming up in like 5 minutes.  Bye bye Oracle.

Well that was quick.

Congratulations Team New Zealand!!!

A distinct butt kicking.

[MiloMorai]
