a little over 100 ft. It was a very small looking copter however and
I don't think you could pay me enough to try landing it on a small,
moving deck like that.

Size does matter but it's all relative. There are a lot of *really*
big boats down here in the Caribbean and ours is just kind of average,
not really standing out at all except for the nicely varnished
woodwork which is unusual, even at a dock full of mega yachts.

Let me guess. You don't own one.


No. Do you? No. OK then.

I have seen a few with two. The last one had some serious helicopters
on board. I don't know the size of the yacht other than huge - north of
100' long. Knowing nothing about helicopters, they both had the large
turbine engines, a main prop and no rear vertical prop. Cayman flagged.

No one here pretends to own a boat of that size.

You just can't hold it in can you. All you have to do is go in the bathroom
and pee. Remember to pull your pants down first.

Where did I pretend to own anything I don't? Do you have a problem
reading or are you just a troll?

do so.
