Octopus!
Friday afternoon, we took 2 boats (about 45 people each) out for a BBQ and snorkeling. On our way out, we passed a HUGE yacht called the Octopus. Not the typical boat you see around here. I joked that it was probably Bill Gates' boat. I was close. It actually belongs to Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft.
This boat cost $200 million to build and has an annual operating budget of $20 million! (And Paul owns 3 of these big yachts!)
It has 2 helicopters, a pool, a sub, several boats & jet skis and a full time crew of 60. It was an amazing boat to see! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera handy to take a picture of it & we didn't realize whose boat this actually was until a couple days later.
You can read more about this incredible boat here. And see some additional pictures here.

Wow!! The pictures look so cool. It must have been even better seeing it in person.
Bet you were disappointed you didn't have your camer!!

That's the same yacht Dad and I were looking at buying, but now that Paul bought one first I guess we'll just have to go bigger.
Love,
