Speaking of yachts, man Desolation Sound is one beautiful spot, I can see why Dennis has an island around there.
We stern tied up in Pendrell Sound for the long weekend, and the kind of yachts you see out there would blow your mind. We felt ghetto on our 50ish foot boat.
I had no idea the kind of party these old whites throw out there on the long weekend every year, they bring a barge out and have this Havana themed party, everyone dressed in Tiki stuff, fedoras, tons of American boats, not a single minority in sight
It felt very Bohemian Grove.
We got invited to this massive yacht for happy hour and fuck it was weird, I showed up shirtless and soaking wet from swimming about for a few hours, the weird looks we got when we boarded was hilarious. The 2 hookers with us proceeded straight to the Charcuterie table and stuffed their fat faces, quite embarrassing.
We ended up staying for an hour and I proceeded to dive off the top and swam back to our lil boat a few KMs away. Along the way these old white ladies were paddle boarding and started taking pictures of me, turned out they thought I was a seal swimming about, made for some good laughs, the old gal extended an invite for cocktails on her boat, which I didn't partake in, felt a little cuckholdy.
Great weekend.
Hah.. you might have run into some of my friends up there in Desolation.
We used to go always go to the “Christmas in July” boat parties
Have spent quite a bit of time up there, been going to Savary for the last 25+ years. Desolation is one of the greatest places I’ve ever been. Wish I could ball on some day cruiser etc. and spend extended time up there

I love the idea of owning a yacht. I just want that 40+foot leopard catamaran
What I don't like are the people you have to deal with when it comes to yacht ownership. Fellow yacht owners are typically more insufferable than 991/2 Porsche owners
the whole industry is out to screw you. You want new zinc tablets for your hull? that's 1k, you want your annual hull cleaning done? that's 10k. You want your sails rejigged? 5-10k
everything is measured in thousands of dollars. Its ridiculous. Even the fuel cost to get from Vancouver to Seattle on a 40ft Marquis yacht is something like 1500 dollars! wtf....
Everyone wants a cut off of the rich people.
That's why they say the two happiest days of a boaters life is when you buy the boat and sell the boat.
I always wonder why the rich people always gets sued, I assume with that much money you can just "buy" them or at least shut them up. Like can't Donald Trump afford more than $130k to shut up the hooker. What happens in international waters stays in international waters. Just like that ocean gate thing.

Isn't that what he did? he paid her off and she still sued him.
I heard China boats are much cheaper, I talked to a guy saying he bought a 40? 50? Foot boat from China for like $100k and it would cost like $400 if he bought it here.

Taiwan is actually quite big when it comes to yachts. But even the smallest pacific-crossing capable ship would run you a cool 4-5M for a decent spec'd class A.
It'd only make sense if someone can integrate it into their portfolio as tax reduction.
Anything sub-1M and brand new? That's going to be quite barebone if it's actually capable of crossing the pacific.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!
