BTW - When the owner isn't using Floridian, it can be chartered for
$400k (four hundred thousand dollars) per week. I'm not making this
up!

That is not unusual. We made friends with a couple off one of those mega
yachts in North Sound, Virgin Gorda and were invited aboard. 4 couples went
in on the charter. When they told me it was $290,000 for the week I almost
choked on my Scotch! Those people were spending more per person for a week
on a boat that I plan to spend for spars, rigging and a set of sails!
Oddly, for rich Yankees they were pretty nice folks. :-)
