Heather sleeping on the job

Ireland doing a fabulous recovery

Hanging on for dear life. Elise is very fast, it's quite hard to stay on board.

Stylish two-finger driving.

Well-deserved dinner

This is supposed to be a sea lion even though it looks like a larvae

Nat was NOT sleeping. She was looking closely at the spinnaker trim

Italy

Closely followed by Ireland and a bunch of unknown countries.

Matching lifejackets. Elise is a classy boat. Notice that Italy is BEHIND the French boat. hehe. A World Cup remake :)

Kate: "you missed a spot"

Line up for a cat walk

Finish Line. Well Done Astra!!

Red seems to be in fashion. This is true competition.

We made a little detour via the French Riviera. Kate demonstrating her new motto "I am just here for my looks"

Heather driving. May I suggest to lift up this cap? You might see better.

False advertising. This is NOT ice-tea

Note that Elise is well ahead of the rest of the pack. We really should have registered for the race...

An army of spinnaker royally deployed on San Pablo Bay

Worse than barium

Kate asked once looking at the TackTik: "is this our speed?" - the dial showed "208". Unfortunately we were not yet supersonic Elise; flying at over 200 knots. Trying hard though. Both Kate and Nat are focused on the shape of the spinnaker.

David and Goliath

"is that our speed"...absolutely great line. We saw the downwind ride home while driving over the bridge, my wife kept commenting on how pretty it was, I kept saying, what the heck happened to the wind, this isn't right.
At least it wasn't upwind both ways.
sorry, catching up on a lot of comments :)
