Cozumel 12 meter sailing excursion / Stars & Stripes / Panasonic LX5 / Topaz 5

Amazing it can sail at all with such a bent mast, don't you think?

In the background is our competition, Canada's "True North." 
Our skipper learned to sail in Argentina and was a very good sailor.
As per original script, Stars & Stripes won, but not by much.

Cozumel offers several on shore or on water excursions. One of these involves former America's Cup 12 meter sailing ships. Here's a video clip of a daily race between the Stars and Stripes (US) and True North (Canada). The video was taken aboard Stars and Stripes and was taken in MTS format with a Lumix DMC-LX5. Uploading means it will be converted to a much smaller non-hd format for storage purposes by Youtube for display here. Immediately below is a link to the excursion, provided by Carnival. The next link is to Youtube for the video. I will post two other videos of the same excursion later today, or as time allows.
