Imagine the lack of privacy - with the exception of the really gigantic yachts, the presence of crew must be impossible to ignore.
Some of those vessels are so costly and immaculate that you'd be afraid to sit on any of the seating in case you crumpled the cushions - not my idea of an asset to be enjoyed. Inside the marina there are huge yachts that never go out or, if they do, they don't go more than a couple of miles to drop the anchor for the day, mostly scurrying back in before it gets dark!
This is probably anarchy, but I'd bet most people with a small yacht, whether sail or motor, have a lot more fun with their vessels than most of the owners of these huge showpieces... |
Man after my own heart. Having a boat and not going out on the water to enjoy that space and food for the soul that can be found there, has always seemed strange to me. Enjoy!
A little anarchy never hurt anyone except those that have stopped living anyway.
