America’s Cup
Saturday I went to San Francisco to meet up with fellow diarist BigStrongHairyGuy, who was lucky enough to hit San Francisco on his world tour, just as the New Zealand team is close to winning the America’s Cup. The Kiwis are way ahead of the Oracle team, who were caught cheating, so dishonorable for the country. We watched two races, the Kiwis almost capsized in the first race and were probably saved from disaster by the Oracle boat that took the wind out of the Kiwi sails. The second race was called off just as the Kiwis were about to win. Tuesday is another day for racing…
It was wonderful to meet fellow OD diarist Velvet and her husband, and BigStrongHairyGuy for the second time. He should come over and live in San Francisco.

It was so great to meet you! I so agree about the US team cheating, I just couldnt root for cheaters. It was so much fun to meet you and A. and his family – if only we could have watched NZ win together! K and I went to watch again on Sunday, watched Oracle win and then watched NZ win. So amazing. As K put it – it’s addicting! wish we could go again to watch the races, but this week is pretty busy. go New Zealand!

It’s not always friendly to take the wind out of another boat’s sails. I was in a boat that did it once and remember fist shaking on the other boat.

ryn – it won’t be a table for sitting around, but to sit in front of the couch in the TV area of the room, so that the table legs will not be in the way of people legs sitting in front of it 🙂

there was 60% more Arctic summer ice this year than last year. It’s not going anywhere. That’s the point. The models say it is, reality says it’s not.

Yeah, thanks for note….but gutted about the result. Not sure if we’ll be back to try again, might be too expensive for us.
