America's Cup has come home !
Congratulations to Team BMW Oracle.
Forget the Olympics-the real innovations in the world of sports took place in Valencia Spain the weekend of Feb.12-13-14. John & I were amazed at the beautiful new racing boats; both Team Alinghi's catamaran and the victorious trimaran of the Americans. The Swiss looked like they were walking on water as they crossed from hull to hull over see-through trampolines. Seeing 2 hulls out of the water as Team BMW Oracle raced around the course at 30 knots was breathtaking !

As we watched the races on our monitor in the office I looked up to see our print of the 1987 Amerca's Cup race . Back then our TV screen was smaller than our present computer monitor and coverage was very limited. This time it felt like we were right with the crew !
How times have changed .
Wishing You Fair Winds
