First off is the America's Cup race. The first race is over and BMW Oracle won. They are racing the most beautiful trimaran I have ever seen photographed. Apparently it is made entirely of carbon fiber and can hit speeds of around 30 knots. The complete boat is quite strong
, but if any one part fails, the entire boat will fail, and, it was hinted, possibly sink. The sail is not a sail, but rather a wing, and stands quite tall.Secondly is a story from Europe of a couple who had been on vacation and lost their camera, a Nikon D90, in he ocean. The couple instantly gave up on it content to live with the loss. A year and a half later they made contact with a fisherman who had fished the camera back out of the ocean. Amazingly the photos were intact on the memory card. I don't know if credtt should go to the camera maker or the flash card maker. Lucky couple.
