Had an altogether fine turkeyless Turkey Day. Did have pumpkin pie and whipped cream.
I walked 5.25 miles, went for a swim and took pictures of Paul Allen’s yacht – The Octopus.
And The Horizon Police will be after me for this one!
The Octopus, 411 feet, sports two helicopters on the top deck (one in front and one on the back), and a 63-foot tender docked in the transom. There are a total of seven tenders aboard. The yacht also has a pool, located aft on one of her upper decks, and two submarines (one of them operated by remote control for studying the bottom of the ocean). Side hatches at the water line form a dock for jet skis. At least that is what Wikepedia says.
I once managed a shot of the Octopus off the coast of Barbados. Beautiful yacht.
Hope you both had a wonderful Thanksgiving, Peg.
Since Paul Allen owns 10 acres just across from our pier – we usually see one of his yachts – AKA – Floating Toy Boxes – every winter at Xmas. He has never come at Thanksgiving and the last time he brought The Octopus was one year when the NFL owners were having a meeting in Honolulu. He usually has the Meduse come in when he comes over.
