      I had lunch with a buddy who lives here, he looked up the yacht.

      It cost 100MM to build.

        Surely those aren’t sail masts? What are they then? This lubber wants to know.

          Those are sail masts, she’s the largest ketch on earth.

          And she’s a few hundred meters from my hotel.

              5000 sq m of sail when all is up.

              Oh, you’ll be shocked to hear this, the interior is quite nice.

                      Coincidentally, that's what I put on my expense claims too.

                      I was only joking

                              Heh. I found out what hotel he was at in Naples. From a Neapolitan friend, so I am the lead stalker.

                                      One day I'll tell you my day job 😉 but not until I retire, which is likely in the year 2039.
