Newport-Ensenada International Yacht Race
Our town had it's annual Newport-Ensenada International Yacht Race today.
Boats from around the world sail the 125-nautical-mile distance from Newport Beach to Ensenada, Mexico.
It is the largest international boat race in the world!
As usual it was a sight to behold with 460 boats participating. The race has been an annual event for some 40 years - one name you might recognize who raced many years ago was Clarke Gable :)

It was impossible to capture the array of vessels on the water. I took these photo's atop the bluffs at LookOut Point down the street from our cottage. A crowd of about 300 had gathered to watch the launch.
KCAL/CBS covered the race, with our Orange County reporter Michele Gile.

Hi Mija! Wow, when I watched yesterday's news coverage I was looking and squinting to see if I could get a glimpse of my sis! Sigh, all I could see was your bench without you sitting in it! Considering yesterday was a gloomy day, it sure didn't interfere with activities. Do you know if it's ever been called off due to bad weather? Just wondering...and thanks for sharing.
