Four sailboats

The last of my pictures from the 1987 America’s Cup quarter finals off the coast of Freemantle, Western Australia. We were lucky to have been able to go representing the US Embassy in Canberra, one of the most exciting events I’ve ever attended. Tim flew back home in comfort, while I took a three-day bus ride across the entire Australian continent.

Spinnakers out and running. Very cool, although three days in a bus doesn't sound too cool. Have you forgiven Tim yet? V

Terrific capture of the America Cup.

What a wonderful memory and the bus ride would have been a real adventure too.

I would have chosen the bus as well, you got to see so much more.
