Happy Christmas to All

It's Always Sunny

Sunny... that's a nice name for a boat.

Did I Mention Boat Speed?

These puppies go 20+ knots!

Wednesday Afternoon Races

The 21st Century Edition of America's Cup Sailing, right here in San Diego Bay, as witnessed by two famous local yachtsmen. Relatively famous yachtsmen. Our relatives know who we are.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Got Lighthouse?

Free.

The GSA is offering 12 historic lighthouses for free.

The lighthouses are being made available as part of the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act of 2000. The federal government owns about 250 lighthouses, which are maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Once critical for navigation along the nation’s coastal and inland waterways, many have been made obsolete by the advance of radio, radar and satellite navigation.

If you don't care for this one, perhaps Old Barney will be on the market someday soon.

Crab Fest Starts Tomorrow

If you’re looking for two great days of music, crab races, great seafood and much more, head out to the 2011 Lacombe Crab Fest, at John Davis Park in Lacombe (Louisiana), tomorrow and Sunday.

Lacombe is known for its blue crabs and home grown soft shell crabs, and there will be plenty of them to eat at the fest. But also, there will be lots of crawfish, shrimp, crawfish beignets, alligator, catfish, hamburgers, hot dogs chicken, pasta, drinks, desserts and cool fruit smoothies.

Among other activities will be the world-famous Lacombe Crab Races, where people can lay down their money on their favorite speedy crustacean.

Eat, drink, have fun, gamble your life savings away and laissez les bon crabs roulez!

Timber!

Getting ready in San Francisco for the next America's Cup. It looks like this challenge will be a fun one. Catamarans... ha, ha, ha.

Faces in the Crowd

Actually, I think Dave and I were sitting just outside of this picture. We were part of the crowd watching the eleven boat fleet of rc44's compete in San Diego Bay on Sunday. Exciting racing, especially during the starts when the boats were going past us only a few feet away. The regatta winner? The Russian boat!?!
