Valhalla III, another yacht from Newport Beach. Hilda's first time off-shore. The 2 boats from Newport Beach battle it out in the cruising spinnaker class. Vahalla III and Electre are neck and neck at the start. Daz and Hilda. Jim at the helm. Lee looks back. Richard. Elizabeth and Jim. Hilda and Dustin. Daz grinding away. Phil doing all the work. Buddy likes to "Sail Fast, but Live Slow." Hilda smiles and gives sailing a "thumbs up." Check the trim! Dustin. Phil and Mark. Silly Phil. Daz on the jib sheet. As we pull into the lead, Hilda celebrates with a cigar. The crew having fun in the sun. Lee, rail meat. Richard! Trying to outrun the wind. Hilda, a natural sailor. The sun begins to set in the calm sea. Hilda and Dustin. One last toast before the sun goes down. The sun sinks into the horizon. It is a perfect sail. Hilda and Dustin in Ensenada. Cherie and Hilda. A sign for Viagra at the pharmacy. Anthony's--also known as "the Gorilla House." An Ensenada icon. Cherie and a sailor named Beaver. Winning the award for 3rd place.
