Yachts

Dave and I can tell the "season" has begun because a number of yachts have returned for the winter. Last year they lined up along the waterfront drive near town. This year, however, they're docking at the island's new Yacht Haven that just opened a few weeks ago.

Yesterday a coworker pointed outside to our amazing view and said "do you see that yacht?" I looked, but I only saw a mini-cruise ship. I looked again and realized that what I thought was a mini-cruise ship was in fact the largest yacht I have ever seen in my life. Today's newspaper confirmed that - apparently the Rising Sun is the second largest megayacht in the world. The CEO of Oracle owns the 452 feet long ship. From my office, it looks as long as half of a regular cruise ship. It's huge. There are some photos of the ship online. Rumor is the yacht is for sale for only 2 million. It has 80 rooms and 8600 square feet of living space! I know what I'm doing when I win the lottery!
