If you've got the access, why aren't you watching
The America's Cup? [Switzerland defending New Zealand in Spain]. It's super-fantastic fun. We saw new Zealand get totally skunked today due to a spinnaker screw-up.
They let people sit on the back, only one person, you can't stand up or say or do anything, you just get to ride. I don't know how they choose that person, if you gotta be tight with the captain or what.
But it would be pretty great to ride along.
