America's Cup September 25, 2013


One of the things retirement buys you is a little time to be impulsive!  I gave in to the hype about the towering catamarans and headed down to Crissy Field about 10 days ago to watch the America’s Cup, which is being held in San Francisco.  The truth is that I (and indeed many other San Franciscans) am rooting for New Zealand, clearly the underdog against the Oracle behemoth.  Now I’m hooked.  Amazingly, Emirates Team NZ was ahead 8-1, but then equally amazingly, Oracle Team USA has come back to tie 8-8!  Today is the final race, as whoever makes it to 9 wins takes the cup.  I’ll be there.
