Have you ever walked along a dock? Have you ever seen one of those 1/2 million dollar, 55ft power yachts that puts 50g's a year into maintenance? Have you ever looked at one of those and wondered what a day out on it would be like? As of yesterday, I can tell you from personal experience that it's ridiculous.
One of Kara's friends, Dustin, is friends with the captain of one such ship. The guy who owns it owns 5 properties on St. Croix and 2 other yachts so you can just imagine the kind of money he has. Yesterday afternoon we sped out to Buck Island and went swimming, snorkeling, and I went diving. There were drinks on hand and it was the kind of afternoon I imagine celebrities having. Actually they had done a photo shoot with a bunch of foreign models on the ship the previous day.
Later we went back to watch the sunset and sip on campaign. The ship had a large sun deck on the front and that is where we sat for most of the time. Now, I must make it very clear how much I love Argo..but, there is something to be said for racing across the water, wind whipping you around, and being on the kind of boat that people stop to look at.
Just another day in paradise. =)
