ANYONE SEEN MY ARGYLL SOX

This is one of the Super Yachts that happens to be in port at the moment. Her name is Argyll. I really can't tell you anything about her. She stands out from the other yachts at this marina. I shot this right into the rising Sun, so it is a little too light. But, she is beautiful and ready to go anywhere your heart desires. There is a constant ebb and flow of these yachts in our city. Virtually all ships of this type pass through here sooner or later for repairs or updating. What may be noteworthy to you, this is one of the smaller ones in the marina at the moment. Ah the rich, they really aren't like you or me.

  2. She's a beauty and looks very much like the one I saw in our port the other day

  3. wouldn't it be fun to get on one of these yachts for a month and see what life is like on a yacht. I think it would get confining. And in answer to your comment, yes, too many people today are not like Frank Lloyd Wright regarding their inventions.

  4. Great shot, B Squared! I remember checking out one of the big yachts a few years ago...I learned I couldn't afford any part of it...just to fill it with fuel at that time was $40-50K.

    Nice to look at, though.

  5. Yipes, and that is one of the smaller ones. And Jacob said it cost 'WHAT' just to fill it. I don't even have a row boat. What's wrong with this picture? Something called lots money. MB

  8. I think it would really be nice to go with them on one of their trips to see what living the rich lifestyle is really like.

  12. I used to love taking those boat tours in Ft Lauderdale around the intracoastal and see all the mansions and their yachts parked outside. We'd always take our out of town guests there and they'd love it too. It IS another world.
