Default Took my winter jacket and went to Marina Green...

Yup. Summer in San Francisco. Don't wear shorts!

Watching these boats, live and up close, revolutionizes my knowledge of sailing. Up until this year, this, the oldest professional sport, I believe, saw boats sailing at around 8-12 kts. These things can do over 40 kts.

Today, was again, a single boat race. This time Prada's Luna Rosa...

Score: Emirates 2 Luna Rosa 1

Saturday should be a good race of three boats...Emirates, Artemis and Luna Rosa.

The America's Cup website has archived all three races, should you want to watch them.
