America's Cup Catamaran Capsizes


This is a good place to show you my beautiful kayak. I have not capsized it yet, and I don't plan to. I really, really wanna paddle really, really soon. Isn't she gorgeous? This is the color scheme I have too, looks just like that. It's LONG. Seventeen feet is a lot of feet.

Or at least I think this is the catamaran that will be entered into the America's Cup.

This movie is kind of terrifying, but undeniably impressive. If you’ve ever capsized in a boat before (I’ve only capsized small sailboats, and most of the time deliberately) then you’ve got an idea of how scary it can be.

One of the crew members got hurt. I’m putting this up because I love sailing and I love catamarans, and it’s also got some serious shock value. Couldn’t resist.

Here are some photos of the Mavericks celebrating in Miami after they won the NBA Finals. It was a good finals. So funny seeing Lil Wayne there too. What a nut.

What’s up folks. Wow, forgot I had a blog there for a moment. Weak sauce.

So I’ve been witness to a couple viruses recently. First my folks got one. I think it might have been because I disabled virus settings on their comp when they got it. My bad! I was able to fix it by watching a walkthrough on a different computer. All I had to do was show hidden files, then rename some hidden file in safe mode. I was happy with myself cause I’m not a windows guy, but also kind of ashamed. Lol, oh well. We move on.

I had a good weekend. Went down to Chatham, MA. stayed at the mill pond cottages. I’m gonna post this link up here because it’s recommended. We stayed in the windmill. A freakin windmill! Was awesome. Pretty cool waking up in a really old windmill with some rad views. It rained some, but we were still able to do outdoorsy stuff. Went out on the boat with K and Chris and Amy and D. we were out there for a long time. there were mostly just fishermen out there, guys in boats and guys in waders by the shore. Got up to like 30mph at one point, which was really fast. I’m just glad we didn’t beach the boat or otherwise run into any difficulty.

Also went for a walk along lighthouse beach. Lighthouse beach is one of the best beaches in america. Don’t believe me? Ask dr beach, or whatever his name is. It’s huge and beautiful. There are a ton of seals that congregate at low tide. Like, hundreds of them on this one little sandbar. Some of them would come close to the shore, fishing, and it was awesome seeing them up close. They’re so sleek and big and fast and beautiful. Fun.

I just got some kayak booties. I’m excited about this. I’ll tell yall more soon, peace
