Watermark Book Company, Anacortes, Wash., hosted an event last Friday that featured the America's Cup--the actual trophy--which was chaperoned by two white-gloved security guards and several other people, including Julian Guthrie, author of The Billionaire and the Mechanic; Norbert Bajurin, commodore of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco and the "mechanic" of the book title; and Mark Turner, the Anacortes builder of America's Cup winner Larry Ellison's two Oracle catamarans.
Owner Patti Pattee wrote: "Hundreds of people braved the cold to see the 'Auld Mug' and we sold quite a few copies of the book. It was a real coup for us and came about through the efforts of Nicole Holbert, owner of a local restaurant (Cafe Adrift), who is married to Mark Turner and is a dedicated Watermark supporter. Our little store may never have been so crowded, but it was a spectacular and ultimately very enjoyable event--and the Cup was a sparkling guest!"Top photo: Golden Gate Yacht Club Commodore Norbert Bajurin (left) and author Julian Guthrie with the America's Cup, at Watermark Book Company.
