America's Cup Challenge - Some Things Require Sails


Bookmark and Share



Some things can't be done on the land. On a December 27, we found ourselves participating in a race between three 12-meter sailboats which had been built for the America's Cup.

I've always enjoyed the water.  I learned to swim at a YMCA and have enjoyed the water ever since. I learned to water ski on Biscayne Bay, sailed on Lake Michigan and Kentucky Lake, snorkeled in the Keys.

While I really enjoy roadtrekking, I also enjoy water trekking and backpacking.

This post includes a short video of this race.
