Ivy League Row

When you pay $100,000 or so for your college education, life tends to center around getting ahead – and at a place like Harvard that means you hop into a kayak for a bit of workout when you’re not busy studying for your A+ finish.

As a visitor of Cambridge, walking along the Charles River, you can see the students tirelessly paddling against the stream (and sometimes just floating along)... 

...in their eternal quest to beat their rivals at the next competition, once again. Watch out Yale. And better go practice.

Welcome to the Golden Gate

Here’s what it looks like to approach the Golden Gate by sea. I was treated to this view when I got a ride on the Frauscher 757 St. Tropez, the world’s first motoryacht with a hybrid engine. See more here and there’s a video, too, if you like (with German soundtrack).
