America's Cup is in San Diego right now doing some Preliminary racing with the smaller 45' boats. If you have never seen these boats up close, they are really something to see. The work/staging area is off limits to spectators, but if you are a little creative and use your words correctly, it's not to hard to get by security. I got the offer to come down and do some work on Team Oracle's chase and support boats. Pretty amazing stuff and everyone seems to be really nice. I'll post some pictures in the up comming days.

I took my first boat off shore to check out the race when it first came to town like 20 years ago. I had a little 16 Bayliner open bow...we had a pretty good time out past the kelp beds until the seas picked up and we started taking water over the bow....LOL...so we went back to the docks and got hammered instead. Some amazing equipment out there.
