Re: Big Uns
Moran seems like a pretty good guy to his people. One of his businesses was a client of mine and his campus in FL is consistently rated as one of the best places in the country to work. They have onsite cleaners, barbers, gym, pool, all sorts of stuff. They also have Christmas parties on one of the Gallant Ladies

Re: Big Uns
"rising sun" is larry ellison's yacht. it's actually 452'9" built by lurssen werft in germany. designed by martin francis
post #5 is "northern light", a 46-meter Feadship owned by a Swede and with a very classic interior design by John Munford, and "Passion", a 53-meter Swedeship which was completely refitted recently in Spain following a string of incidents including being dropped on her side while she was being put back in water from drydock.
Rumour has it that Clapton has purchased another yacht, a 156' Kees Cornelissen called "Va Bene"...
BTW, that Chesney yacht looks like a Sea Ray.

Re: Big Uns
tickles is the bar/resteraunt at crown bay marina, Willy T i've only gone to during the day
I'm back in the states now, atleast till the end of summer, once cold weather arrives back here again I might find my way back down there. Next time I won't be doing parasail tho, too much stress for the winter, most captains down there have cake jobs and we ran around stressed and working like maniacs all the time. Summer is enough stress for me.
