America's Cup

We just returned from a 5-day trip up to San Francisco to see the America's Cup boats. Right now is the Louis Vuitton Cup, the races that decide who goes to the America's Cup which starts in September. Long gone is the big helm to stand behind - these boats are steered with the push of a botton and are so fast the sailors have to wear helmets. 

On the way home we drove back via Highway 1. If you have not made this drive I would highly recommend it. We've made it several times and never tire of the views.
