"America's Cup" Yacht Race (2022)
We are part of the CREW
Index
Caribbean
December 2022
As our final sailing adventure, we participated as "crew" in a competitive, head-to-head race
between authentic America’s Cup 12 Meter Class race boats
We were given our assignments and instructions by the captain of our boat - the "Stars and Stripes"

Carrie had an additional task as "crew captain"
Midway in the race she had to make
an inspirational speech to the crew
It worked! We WON!
This was my job LAST year
In 2021 Joe and I did this race as well. We crewed the Canadian boat "True North IV"
We won then too, beating the "Stars and Stripes"
