Last month, while on the island, we took a boat trip to AXA departing from the lagoon and in doing so, we passed the Jobs boat which was docked there at the time. From the particular perspective we had sitting on a cat down in the water, for just a couple of moments, we thought at first it was a huge new modern warehouse built along the docks. It went on and on seemingly forever, and as we came around and saw the entire thing and realized it was actually a private yacht (and were told which yacht and who it was actually built for....) we were in absolute awe of the size and scope of this boat. It was absolutely breath-taking in every way. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

I guess beauty truly does lie in the eyes of the beholder.
I thought the shape 'interesting' and along the lines of the old Norway which we loved as opposed to the more current trend in ocean liners and some megayachts we've seen. The glistening chrome against the stark whiteness was unique, too.
And thinking about all the i-somethings in our family, I think we should catch a free ride, too!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

I thought the same when we got up close to it. I think because it looks so different from the other beautiful yachts, that it does get your attention, but not in a good way.Sadly Steve passed away before he could enjoy it.
