Sailing on "America" with Gray Whales in San Diego, CA
The crew invites you to help set sails as you glide through San Diego Bay past aircraft carriers and submarines. Sea lions and dolphins surround this historic vessel as you search for the elusive gray whale. Suddenly a spout is sighted in the distance. As you approach the migrating behemoth, the captain shuts down the engines. The vessel turns silently to sail alongside the magnificent leviathan. In repeating patterns, the sight of it breaking the surface and the sound of its breathing immerses you in the world of this natural wonder. The tail fluke waves goodbye as the whale submerges.
Salt spray whips your face as you crisscross the San Diego Bay, with the power of a sleek high-tech racing machine in your grip. Two 80-foot America’s Cup Class racing yachts, a small group of novice land lubbers, and 2.5 hours of glorious sunshine makes for an unparalleled sailing experience aboard Dennis Conner's America's Cup racing yachts. Half the crowd crews on the ‘Abracadabra’ against their opponents on the Stars & Stripes and the rivalry that ensues within seconds of leaving the dock surpasses the exhilaration of Daytona. Each boat, flaunting its high-tech rigging and carbon fiber laced racing sails, cuts through the sheltered waters to the cheers of seagulls and jealous fishermen. No other sailing experience even comes close to the adventure of piloting an America's Cup yacht.
