12 Metre Race in St. Maarten...

One of the boats we raced against.

There's me waaayyy up at the front of our boat.

Joshua hanging out on the boat.

This is the boat we raced in...the True North IV, also the Coors Light boat! That is Dicks head in the front :)





So, on Wednesday of our cruise while we were in St. Maarten, we got to go on a mock Americas Cup race. They have boats that have actually been in the real Americas Cup and have won all kinds of awards. It's really cool...you go out there and they spend the first part of your time teaching everyone different jobs on the boat. After that is all done, you have a few practice runs and then, it's off to race! We raced against 2 other boats and it was awesome! Just like you see on TV, those boats lean all the way to one side or the other and you think you're going to fall right out...in fact, my beer flew off at one point! It was so much fun....Josh, Me, Dad, Uncle Clint and Dick went. And, our boat WON!!! So cool...I'd have to say one of the coolest excursions we've done yet.
