Yachts

[poliphilo]

No, I don't get yachts.

I've been on boats; they're cramped and constricting; even big boats are. I like to be able to step out the front door and go for walks; and you can't do that with a boat.  Living on a luxury yacht must be like being confined to a luxury hotel- one that, furthermore, is liable to roll from side to side and bump up and down.

And yet yachts are seen as the ultimate status symbol...

I do have to say that I kind of get yachts, not necessarily to live on long-term, but I am passionate about the sea and don't mind being comfortable while on it either.

I love the sea- but as something to look at from dry land. I've no wish to be out on it.
