America's Cup

Here are a few pictures from the America's Cup AC series race that took place here in San Francisco on August 26th.  I was again at Ft Baker thus rather far away from the action.  All these shots are at 300mm and then cropped a bit.  There where several people there trying to figure out if it would be a good vantage point to view the race and avoid the crowd.  Thus it did not really work.

These where the smaller boats, but the once they change to the bigger boats, I still do not think it would matter much.

This picture shows one of the teams practicing with the Bay Bridge as the back drop.  This is both the old Bay Bridge and the new replacement span.  The large tower is new part and should go into service in about a year.  This is the Eastern span of the Bay Bridge.

Here are more pictures with part of SF as the background.  The bridge you see is the Western span of the Bay Bridge.
