Seawanhaka won the America's Schooner Cup race so her name will soon be added to the cup shown here. |

Elizabeth picking lemons for the trip (no scurvy on Seawanhaka!). |
Seawanhaka spent a weekend anchored out in Glorietta Bay near Coronado. |
We had a fantastic dinner at the famous Hotel Del Coronado for Elizabeth's birthday dinner and then spent the next day playing on the beach. |

La Jolla Cove, just down the beach from where my scuba class dove, is a very beautiful spot. |

Before leaving our anchorage, Captain Bill donned his scuba gear and dove down to check out Seawanhaka below the water line. |
