Outdoor Wednesday with America's Cup

Good Morning to you~When I worked outside the home, coworkers would come in and say Happy Hump Day. I never really cared for that expression until the t.v. commercial came on this year with the camel. I think it is so funny! I had meant to to post these last week but that cold had me under the weather. Feel free to scroll through these photos quickly; it was an experience of a lifetime and I'm hoping that the race is back in S.F. in four years. If so, hubby and I will be there.
This next photo is the Oracle Team USA Catamaran.

 

When I watched the pre-series race on the internet, you realize the catamarans are big but you just can't imagine how big they are until you see them in person.

 

Loved seeing these Press helicopters flying in formation over the boats.

 

 

Loved this little yellow tug boat.

 

Here is Oracle nose to nose with New Zealand's Emirates.

 

 

 

The second race of the day was delayed for fifteen minutes due to wind gust and speed. I am not a sailor and get sea sick on small boats; the water here was not appealing to me, in the least.

 

I can tell you that being at this event was the thrill of a lifetime, even for a non-sailor. It reminded me of attending the Olympics. Here the crew came by the Pier and were cheered on.

 

I hope you have a great day! Our day is wide open, not quite sure what hubby will want to do.  If the roads to the Rockies were open, we'd head up there but it will be months before we are able-unless we want to drive 3.5-4.0 hours. 
Until tomorrow,
Noreen & Hunter
