Sorry to bring this too you all.
I know we all feel ground down by the relentless doom and gloom the world is forcing upon us, and here's me bringing more pain and suffering..

I'll set up a Just Giving page tomorrow - won't someone think of the billionaires?

There's something oh so amusing about the tub being longer than the island.

One does one of those snuffly chortles to oneself whilst the crew decide which end to moor.

There is a cost of living crisis and we all need to do our bit. I'm thinking of downsizing from a 30 berth to a 20 in order to ensure I can get a Piglets and couple of Harvey's every match next season

The number of super yacht owning Billionaires craft’s that don’t have the requisite tender(s) to get round this is, at a guess, none.

That disappointing because when I go to these place I have an app on my phone that identifies the boats.

I tracked Giorgio Armani between Ibiza and Formentera for a week.

(dinner Ibiza, lunch Formentera)

He's very approachable and sits on the back of the boat whilst in boat drinking a cup of coffee.

.... or Barcelona and Palma Majorca.

Naples loss is Littlehampton's gain...

I remember one of our old customers telling me he stopped going to Monaco as often as he used to because his new ‘yacht’ was too big for the harbour and he had to moor it outside……don’t know how the poor chap coped to be honest.

I'm off to Formentera in a couple of weeks, I hope I can park there

Naples is a bit naff. Monaco, Cannes and Nice for me and my mates and our Yachts. Heres mine !! Anyone got a better one ??

 

[JOLovegrove]

Interesting. I am visiting Naples every week at the moment, will have to keep an eye out.

 

[A1X]

Have they considered submarines as an alternative?

I presume billionaires would only moor their boats in Naples (absolute dump) to go to Capri , Positano etc. That's probably the main reason they've banned it !!
