    I have just been over to St Maartin in Caribbean to do some tests on a mega yacht and it was next to Ecstasea and Limitless. I know ecstasea is owned by Abramavich does anyone know the owner of Limitless?

    The marina was full of mega yachts it was amazing. Utopia was there and Rasselas.

    Isn't Limitless owned by the guy that owns Victoria's Secret? (envy!!)

    Shineman,

    Thanks for the swim platform pix. Seeing it I can now understand how the thing folds up. Those sea steps look like they tuck underneath the small "bustle", kinda like a letter going into a mail slot.

    I read somewhere a lot of these hydraulic systems are computer controlled. Given the sequence needed to deploy some of these assemblies, I can believe it. One microswitch on the fritz, and kablamo!

    And Carl, keeping all those bazillionaires straight boggles the mind these days.

    You know, strike that previous posting. Looks like the swim step "tongue" that's propped up in the photo simply flips over and folds flat prior to the large "door" closing. I just examined the photo again and noticed a cut-out in the platform to accept the swim ladder.

    No complicated "mail slot" thingie. My bad.

    Just love trying to figure out all the mechanical stuff on these ships. Some of them are pretty clever.

    Oh Ramone,, we are VERY good friends with the man.
    He's my favourite bartender in the world.
    That guy works so hard,, and we tip him very well.
    Once he knows you the drinks never stop,,
    We love all the staff at the Maho,, that's why we keep going back,, it's like going home for us.

    I'll let him know for sure.
    BTW that's me in the white hat.
    Can't wait to get back there.

    One more thing,, are you going to be working on any boats in Lauderdale in the next couple of weeks,, I have a friend the crews for Taijin,,
