Ending as it began
2 years and 2 months ago, K Wentzien began on an adventure that took her through 4 seasons with 4 challenges each created by her 4 children. In celebration of her 70th birthday she was challenged to complete feats with speed, skill, outlaws, grandchildren, and cuisine. As so on this day, April 28, 2012 she has successfully completed her Amazing Race to 70 much like it began... Wearing a bib and digging into a giant bowl of seafood.
More Sailing Shots
On K's sailing adventure, she spotted a couple dolphins playing in the bay. A good time was had by all. Well, except Paul, who wisely opted out. Let's race!
America's Cup Sailboat Race
How better to finish K's amazing race than with a challenge on a racing sailboat? K had to navigate through the San Diego Bay as a crew member of the Stars and Stripes. She was on the crank to control the jib for most of the trip. Her grandsons drove the boat as she worked. It was an absolutely perfect day for a sail, and we got going over 10.5 knots, leaning over most of the way as we sat on the sides of the boat. The mast was 11 stories high to catch massive wind in its carbon fiber sails. Way to go, K!
