Beautiful day for sailing on the bay

America’s cup is in San Diego this week.  This is the first time that it has been in San Diego for the last 16 years since Dennis O’Conner lost the cup to New Zealand.  While I did not get a chance to go and photograph the event from my brothers helicopter, I did head down to the Bay to check out all of the excitement.  While I was down at the Bay I also took the chance to visit many of the famous ships that are down at the docks.  One of the most notable landmarks in San Diego is the Star of India – a very old sailing ship – actually the oldest active sailing ship in the world.  It is kept in pristine condition and at times goes out on sailing trips in the Bay.  The ship was built in 1863 and is now docked as a museum in San Diego.
