Ain't life grand in the O.C.? They should've named this company madcap instead of Medcap. Typical behaviour for these folk. 3.75 million yacht!

Damn, and I'd be happy with a Lund Tyee.

Guess I'll just have to run the Spectrum 1700 for a few more years.

That's a pauper's yacht. Here's a much nicer model:

Interestingly, I noticed Ellison sold Rising Sun to David Geffen. That can only mean one thing: Ellison must be building a larger one.

Correction: Rising Sun was too big and lacked intimacy.

Kinda looks like the scow that damn near ran over me at the Lake of the Ozarks.

A couple of years ago, a woman was killed when she was trapped in the cabin of a 26' cruiser that got swamped.

Ain't no place for a fishing boat.

No need to regulate, people will always do the right thing. Just need trust in the goodness in all of us.

Speaking of pirate ships, I heard a story over the weekend that the Exxon Valdes has recently been sold for scrap.

I'd heard that too. But, I couldn't care less about the Valdez.

I've also heard that the USS Constellation is scheduled for scrapping, or already has been, I forget which one. That would be both of my ships---Gone.

You were on both of those ships? That's very cool.

I saw the Connie a couple of summers ago in Bremerton, WA. I want to say she was sitting next to Independence and Ranger?
