    Uh, not sure of all the details you mentioned.

    The safety screen probably to protect from falling debris .
    Didn’t notice no oars, but after breakfast tomorrow I will take a look and report back.
    Stay tuned,

    Some 1620 NM to go before docking at San Juan P.R.
    Plenty traffic in the Atlantic but none of them close enough to see visually. IMG_9057.png

    1 pair of oars and a a boat hook.
    Oars are probably not for rowing, but rather to push off, or sculling ? IMG_9060.jpeg

    Burgess bought by a private equity firm called Ancient. According to Loren Easton, Ancient’s head of private investing, Burgess is a complementary fit. Its superyacht reach, yet also its connection to travel and wellness trends, made it attractive. “Burgess’ enduring legacy, global reach, and commitment to service align perfectly with Ancient’s mission to invest in category-defining platforms build for the long term,” he said. It is believed that the senor leadership at Burgess will still remain in place as is.
