In one of our brighter moves, we decided to rent a couple of bikes and check out Marina Green, Golden Gate Yacht club and then go back to the team bases. Wound up being a great time and we got a free crab trapping lesson out of it also!
Oracle was scheduled to go out, but when they did they went far past the Golden Gate bridge so we could get a good view of them unless we went up to the Golden Gate, and I wasn't in the mood for that.
However, we got quite the show from Luna Rossa.

As we were watching the practice, we met a nice gent from San Jose that was catching red crabs. He gave us a quick lesson and he soon had a pot full. The next go around he had to fight with a seal to get his pot back. He cooks them in coconut milk, lemon grass, some spices and makes a stew from them.

Later in the afternoon we biked down to ETNZ and Luna Rossa's team bases, it's quite the layout they have.
 |
| Hard to see, but they are just putting the boat back to bed after practice. |
