And just think, he left Microsoft in 1983. Windows didn't exist, the Mac wasn't out, etc. Of course, he had lymphoma, but still...

boat is a piece of shite. No way you can marsh fish in that thing and hauling double rigged trout over the side would be a PIA.

I'll pass.

Yeah, something tells me he's been saying it wrong all these years and was trying to be a smartass. Decided to move along like nothing happened after he Googled it.

It's usually here one week every year. It's sweet, but not the nicest I've seen. I got to go on it a few years ago, the mini sub is really cool though.

Best one I've seen is Yacht A

A is a beaut.

I've always liked Alfra Nero, personally. Just an exceptionally good looking ship:

That thing looks slick.



Reading about these mega yachts and I just to be able to afford a nice 26' center console.

Not entirely sure why, but I follow a bunch of superyacht accounts on Instagram. These things are insane...and yes, the cost of them makes you contemplate just how poor you really are and how in the hell can anyone afford one of these things

ETA: Just FYI, Octopus is around 140 feet larger than Alfa Nero. Octopus is a massive boat.

Which ones do you follow?

I follow centerconsolesonly and boatsgonewild as far as boats are concerned. Wouldn't mind adding a few.

I also follow the_collection1 which is pretty legit as well. Jaylenosgarage ain't bad either.

Still relatively new to inatagram.




ETA as a matter of scale, it wouldn't fit in tiger stadium.

He's got a 737 he flies to join up with it. Most of those guys come here in the summer, it's interesting people watching.

Keep inhaling that quality air in south Baton Rouge. Nice to have chemical plants in your backyard.
