We stern tied up in Pendrell Sound for the long weekend, and the kind of yachts you see out there would blow your mind. We felt ghetto on our 50ish foot boat.

I had no idea the kind of party these old whites throw out there on the long weekend every year, they bring a barge out and have this Havana themed party, everyone dressed in Tiki stuff, fedoras, tons of American boats, not a single minority in sight :lol

It felt very Bohemian Grove.

We got invited to this massive yacht for happy hour and fuck it was weird, I showed up shirtless and soaking wet from swimming about for a few hours, the weird looks we got when we boarded was hilarious. The 2 hookers with us proceeded straight to the Charcuterie table and stuffed their fat faces, quite embarrassing.

We ended up staying for an hour and I proceeded to dive off the top and swam back to our lil boat a few KMs away. Along the way these old white ladies were paddle boarding and started taking pictures of me, turned out they thought I was a seal swimming about, made for some good laughs, the old gal extended an invite for cocktails on her boat, which I didn't partake in, felt a little cuckholdy.

Great weekend.

What I don't like are the people you have to deal with when it comes to yacht ownership. Fellow yacht owners are typically more insufferable than 991/2 Porsche owners

the whole industry is out to screw you. You want new zinc tablets for your hull? that's 1k, you want your annual hull cleaning done? that's 10k. You want your sails rejigged? 5-10k

everything is measured in thousands of dollars. Its ridiculous. Even the fuel cost to get from Vancouver to Seattle on a 40ft Marquis yacht is something like 1500 dollars! wtf....

I always wonder why the rich people always gets sued, I assume with that much money you can just "buy" them or at least shut them up. Like can't Donald Trump afford more than $130k to shut up the hooker. What happens in international waters stays in international waters. Just like that ocean gate thing.

so this sucker in hong kong needs 2 captains, a crew of 6 and it costs something like 23,000cad to fill up.

don't ask about the moorage fees, I cant even comprehend how much a yacht slip costs in hong kong.

couldn't even pull up to the slip in Stanely, too shallow. Needed that garbage tender to come pickup

you can tell it super chinesey because there is no on-deck space for sun tanning (wtf is that?)

I heard China boats are much cheaper, I talked to a guy saying he bought a 40? 50? Foot boat from China for like $100k and it would cost like $400 if he bought it here.
