Is it big enough?
Look what dropped anchor here in Nevis a couple of days ago!

I had to do a little poking around on the Internet to figure out that it's Larry Ellison's 452' long superyacht, "Rising Sun". She's anchored right off the Four Seasons Resort.

Is it big enough?-rising-sun.jpg

No, big enough to have it's own gravitational pull.

I believe the dink is 65' long. I'll bet you could wakeboard from that.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
