    Funny line.

    A crew of 30 for 20 passengers?? I wonder how many of the crew are of the female pursuasion.

    A yacht that big, and you have to have something like a 3-section rotation for piloting and the engine room. Maybe it's only 2 in the pilot house and 2 for the engineroom, but now you're at 12 before getting to a single person that actually serves any of the passengers (cooks, valets, etc.)

    And yes, I bet many of the servers are of the female persuasion.

    One word,

    "Bailout!"

    It's just not fair PA has to sell his smallest yacht. None of the wall street bankers have had to sell their yachts.

    to be fair, PA's been burning through money for 20 years. Wall Street just got into this game.

    Agreed.

    He's to big to fail.

    Then how about a "Cash for Clunkers" program for yachts?

    That latter ship has been put up for sale by Fraser Yachts in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for €125,000,000 ($160,665,483 U.S.).

    Sweet. That should be enough to lock up Oden and Batum . . . and pay the luxury tax.

    Good call Allen . . . sell that boat.
