Who'd A Thunk It?

That I, one of the naysayers, would get excited by the America's Cup. How could I not be, the comeback from the big hole that Team Oracle dug itself into has thrilled sailors around the world. Say what you want about Larry, he does know how to pick talent. Now it all comes down to one more race, and yes, the fat lady will finally sing.

Tillerman Tuesday.

How appropriate!

The picture above was transformed from a photo by Gilles Martin-Raget.

The Fat Lady Has Taken A Nap.

But the ... cough, cough, cough ..."Americans" haven't. Thanks to that great "American" skipper, his great "American" tactician and their "All American" crew, the race will run another day.

Mind you, I think the caterer is an American, but I could be wrong. 

Monday Morning Mermaid.

Happy Monday!

That Fat Lady Really Doesn't Want To Sing!

  

It ain't over, till it's over. Kudos to Sir Ben for his brilliant tactics, Jimmy on the helm and the crew of Oracle for living to fight another day.

Have A Great Weekend!

It's pau hana time, so I'm out of here. My parting wish is that you try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend. I'll see you on Monday.

Even the shark is happy to see a wahine!

The Fat Lady Refuses To Sing!

Oracle won the day. So it stands at 8 races won by ENTZ and 5 for Larry's guys. But, since Larry had his hand in the cookie jar and was penalized 2 points, it's 8 to 3 in ETNZ's favor.

Racing Continues.

Tomorrow.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom!

The grand event continues. Team Oz/NZ Oracle won their race today.

Eat My Wake!

Hello Mr. Ellison, Auckland is calling!

Larry, Larry, quite contrary,
How fast does your boat go?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
Maybe you should row

Even though they look fast, something is not right in Larryville. Can you say hello Auckland? Well maybe I'm jumping the gun, but it's not looking good for Team O.

Mermaid (not morning) Monday.

I promised you a mermaid. Je n'oublie pas la sirène. Elle est ici !
Goodnight, sleep tight, and don't let the water bugs bite.

Have A Great Weekend!

Try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend!
Hey Joe, there seems to be an underwater vide going on here. "Will there be a mermaid on Monday?" Stay tuned.
