Today's Word(s) of the Day

America's Cup.

Holycrap.

A week ago Oracle Team USA was behind 8 points to 1 to Emirates Team New Zealand in the America's Cup.

9 points were necessary to win the Cup.

So, the Kiwis were sitting on match point for over a week.

After an 8 race win streak, the Americans won race 19 today (Oracle Team USA had been penalized 2 points, so they basically started with -2 points).

At the beginning of the regatta, it looked like the Kiwis were just gonna run away with it, and then the Americans found some speed and managed an incredible comeback.

Was a really fun few weeks to learn a bunch about sailboat racing, and become amazed at hydrofoil sailing...
