Cup Owes SF $12 Million
TAmerica's Cup organizing officials have sailed through the tricky
straits of San Francisco land use approvals over the past few months,
but smooth sailing isn't quite yet dead ahead. The non-profit
organizing committee still owes the City $12 million, with another $20
million due over the next two years.

How
much of a bribe will it take to kill
the GPS System? - ask LightSquared
LightSquared's main financer, Philip Falcone's hedge fund Harbinger
Capital Partners, continues to deny allegations that it tried to bribe
a senator into softening an inquiry into its business. Iowa Republican
Chuck Grassley claimed last week that Falcone sent his office an e-mail
stating that LightSquared "could be made a 'win' for Grassley,
LightSquared and the consumer."

Charlotte Harbor Regatta is Happening!
Annie
Gardner and Eric Witte won three of four races to take a commanding
lead Friday in the F16 class on the first day of the 3rd annual
Charlotte Harbor Regatta. John Casey jumped out to a lead in the F18
class with a pair of wins and two seconds, as did Wally Myers in the
Hobie 16 class. Nelson Wright and John Sherry each notched two wins in
the Hobie Wave class, but Wright’s pair of seconds gave him a
three-point lead going into Day Two. In the Weta class, Dick Stephens
led the way over Keith Rice, with three wins in four races.
Racing
continues Saturday with three classes – the Sunfish, Precision 15s and
Flying Scots – joining the action on a second race circle. Weekend
warriors will swell the multihull fleets Saturday, as the scratch sheet
is expect to top 60 for the third year in a row.

Whales, whales and more whales
in Southern California
Sailors
in Southern California are being treated to the magnificent sight of
hundreds of whales off the coastline this year,quoted as the best
sightings in 10 years. Gray whales are migrating south in record
numbers and killer whales -- or orcas -- are also making sporadic
showings. Whale-watching charter vessels from San Diego to Santa
Barbara have reported to The Log that multiple gray and finback whale
sightings, and large pods of orcas have been appearing right alongside
boats, in some cases.

Editor's note - imagine having to keep a whale watch while

America's Cup 1987 - 25th Anniversary
After
twice successfully defending the America's Cup, Dennis Conner suffered
a historic defeat in 1983, becoming the first American to lose the Cup
in its 132 year history. Conner's loss to Australia II made him even
more determined to win the Cup back. Four years later in Australia he
returned in his new boat Stars & Stripes, and along with his
all-American team of sailors, took a resounding 4-0 win to bring the
America's Cup back to the United States.
