Megayachts!

No it isn't.

I was gonna say that..

I quite like the blue, I wouldn't turn it down if I was offered it anyway

I was living in Portsmouth when the Mirabella V was being built, saw it sailing out - didn't it run aground at some point and had to be repaired? I heard it cost a lot more to build than expected, but because VT had agreed a fixed price it was sold for a loss. (Someone told me that bit anyway..)

So today I finally got over to the marina while it was light out, and got some pics of the Octopus. Unfortunately the Tatoosh had already left harbor. Anyways, here you go:

She just loooooms over everything else here, and we don't have a small marina either.

Loading on a couple of small runabouts.

Yes it really is the Octopus


And finally, my favorite from around here, the Carinthia VII, looking good as usual.

You mean like a stealth boat? I never realised that one in Tomorrow Never Dies was actually real!!

Actually, the boat in the movie was a mock up!

BTW, if you compare the two very closely, you will see many differences even though the overall shape is roughly the same.

Neat looking boat!

maybe i could find some pounds down the back of my sofa to afford a rubber dingy,just so i can play pirates too
