America's Cup Uncovered - Episode 2
Another awesome episode about the America's Cup!
This one covers the French, Chinese, and Korean entries for the Cup.
Note: Watch this stuff full screen. It's worth it.

El Guincho - Pop Negro
I'm not normally one for Latin music but Pop Negro by El Guincho has been pretty addictive lately.
I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the beat, maybe the musical hooks, or maybe just because it was the background music for some good poker games at a friend's place. Either way, I find myself moving towards music that was not created purely to be blasted to, at, and from the club/bar/dance floor.
Maybe it's the radio and their love of overplaying the same set list of songs but I think it has more to do with getting older.
Pictures from this past Wednesday Night race and the Governor's Cup 2011 to follow (eventually).

The Great Bay Race
Had the Great Bay Race this past Saturday. It was hot as the blazes out but I managed. Rub in a little sunscreen, drink some water, and pray for wind.
We didn't have the greatest start but managed to keep up pretty well. Started with 7 boats but at least 2 dropped out. Possibly 3. The first boat to finish (Jubilee), I'm pretty sure, didn't round the first mark. Avalon, the first boat to round the first mark, called them on it. We finished third but will probably do worse with corrected time. We'll see though. I blame the 40 mins we were all just drifting because the wind died.
Anyhow, below are some of the pics from the race and the ride back to HHN:

America's Cup Uncovered - Episode 1
The below video is awesome. Plain and simple.
You get some behind-the-scenes footage of the America's Cup meetings, some sweet racing footage, get to know the Skipper of Oracle Racing, James Spithill, and you get more of an in-depth look at Team Emirates NZ. The video plays like a TV show but is far more interesting than anything you were planning on watching.
Give it a look see and tell me you didn't watch the whole thing:
PS: The AC World Series starts in 5 days...

Wednesday Night Racing w/ Pictures!
Had a pretty decent "race" last Wednesday. Race is only in quotes because I have no idea if the Race Committee was actually keeping track on anyone's finish time. They seemed to have disappeared sometime in the middle of the race.... Weird.
Anyhow, here are some pictures I took:
