We all love to look at the mega yacht that strays into our home waters.
Last summer I actually got aboard a bona-fide Megayacht. An eye opener for sure. like the OP stated "same planet - different world". Not a world guys like me are comfy in. To begin with, there were crew everywhere. Sure there were only 3 or 4 of them, but they were there just before you wanted them. The cook, sorry, "chef" had hor-douvres to pass around, the whole place was spotless, my tour, self guided at the invitation of the owner, whom I had met once, years ago, but really, he wouldn't have recalled, led me into the master stateroom, where his $50k watch was laying out on the dressing table! Different world for sure!
The boat itself was just big. To be big, successfully, it has to have huge power, great accommodations, lots of toys, easy to operate, seaworthy, etc. One of the neatest tricks was lighting up the water under the aft toy garage. The fish love the lights.
To see not one, but two Megas in Vancouver on a May weekend is a real treat!
Sorry Jim, Nova Spirit is always here, so doesn't register any more.
