Someone over there posted this link to a story about her tenders. Those who have seen the boat might find it interesting, as I did. Link Anyone have any pictures of her in SXM that you'd care to post? Carol Hill

Everyone has different tastes and for what it’s worth, and from my personal perspective, a wealth of money is clearly not an indication of good taste in equal amounts. But as others have said, I’m sure it’s drop dead gorgeous inside with every luxury imaginable. Respectfully, pat "Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them."

This boat is a statement. A cool statement. Anybody can have a yacht like Limitless or any other, but it’s only ONE person who has A. You have to give it to him, this is a one eye catching boat! At first, I hated it. Well, kinda hated it, lol. But more you look at it more it grows up on you. It is nothing like the Maltese Falcon, but it does have its own grace! "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt"
