That's a beauty. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Yachts this size usually tie up in the downtown area in the main harbour vs smaller boats that like to visit one on the yacht clubs on the Northwest Arm.
Anyone well known aboard?

I see it's an aluminum boat.
Maybe I can get aboard to discuss galvanic corrosion with the owner. ;-)

efforts. They are the former ownes of a check printing business.

Maybe but you never know when one of those darn do-gooder
philanthropists will turn flaky and unreliable. :-)

That vessel must have thousands of "snaps"!

Wow...that yacht is up off Liverpool already.
He's going to be in Halifax early afternoon at that rate...never mind Saturday.
Hope they like cool damp weather.
