Who is borrowing my Yacht?!

I thought the Octopus was Paul Allen's?

Yes you are correct . The Octopus was in CZM port in November 2013 but only stayed 4-5 hours.

On the contrary, but I'll bet you have an endless supply of conventional opinions.

Can we not do this in here, please? It never ends well.

I saw that boat in Curacao a few years ago. It is impressive to see the sides opened up for the launches. This one does seem to make it's way around so at least it is being used.

I was hoping for more of your intellectual criticism of people fantasizing others wealth. I'm sure that I won't be disappointed.

I think you may be confusing moral criticism with intellectual criticism. The moral issues involving great wealth and spectacular overconsumption are obvious. That you at least are aware of them is evident from your post. Any comment from me is unnecessary.

Ugly as heck IMO. If I was spending that kind of coin I would go for something more visually appealing.

Definitely an "eye of the beholder" thing. I kinda like it, reminds me of the newest Navy destroyer

Indeed the Octopus is Paul Allens - this I found out after I bought him lunch (I had no idea who this sad lookin solo traveler was wandering around Rangiroa so when he asked to share my table at cafe lili I said no problem, I will get the tab) - to his credit, he paid for lunch the next day......the day I found out that superyacht sitting out in the lagoon was his.

I've been up close to that boat when it was hanging out in NZ. Impressive. Jealous? YES!

Ever wish you had money?

Paul owns the Tatoosh and the Octopus. He put the Tatoosh up for sale in 2010, but there were no takers. (I think he wanted 160 million for it). As of 2014, he still owned the Tatoosh.

Ha, I've got money... just not THAT much!
