    The Yacht Transport loaded up in Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida today. Preparing for departure to Palma De Mallorca. Wish I was going...

    I spot "Netanya 8", the Christensen "Odessa", a PJ150 possible "Houkalani"? or "O'Khallia"?

    And that is the Palmer Johnson "Vantage" next to Odessa on the back.

    Thanks for the photo CapLady! I always like to see which yachts are in transit.

    Tivia Question. As they cross the Atlantic, are they plugged in to the mother ship for "shore power"? If so does the crew stay with the vessel or do they fly out to meet the boat? I've alway been curious about this.

    The yachts are supplied with power and most yachts have crew aboard. However, on some of the smaller yachts the owners/crew meet the yacht on the other side.

    Many times the crew will go on vacation while the yacht crosses. Maybe one or two crew ride with the yacht, especially on the larger ones, to maintain systems and do maintenance work (great time to clean/paint the bottom, weather and seas permitting). Yachts are plugged in and have water for AC. Crew that ride will typically eat with the ship's crew in their galley. Some yacht crew will sleep on the ship if a room is available. DYT's newest ship has nice cabins for this reason, as well as a theater and fitness room. On longer trips, captains may hire someone to ride along in order to give the crew a break. This way, they are fresh when the yacht arrives at the destination.

    CapLady, thanks for the lead in photo.
    Marmot, did you get that shot from an airplane flying in/out of Ft Laud?

    This is so they can spend the first few days scrubbing off that greasy black acid based dung that has erupted out of the ships exhaust several times while on the way across.

    My first time on one I noticed several yachts had taped plastic over the teak for that reason. Sometimes exhaust particles land on yachts, and I'm told it's tough to get out of teak.

    What's the typical cost of this type of move? (Not that I'll ever have to worry about paying for one.)
