So it's fair to post up this yacht in the automotive section (here) because it was originally built for Russell Alger the Chairman of Packard!

Now owned by the Getty family... and it is only a lousy 80 meters or..... 262 FEET...

Love that classic styling. "Only 262 ft" Hilarious. I have a buddy who raised a family on a 65 footer in the Seattle area. He and his wife still live on it. He'd laugh his ass off hearing that.

I have another good childhood friend who just sailed from Mex to NZ on a 35 ft catamaran. In this case I would say only 35 ft.

Didn't you mean you wish you were Gwen?

She did mention that again last night.... I reminded her that we were taught that you don't always get what you wish for. I've used this little reminder many times over the last 41 years...

Hey! Good luck with the possible purchase! Right now is the opportunity of a lifetime to make these kinds of deals...

Do like I do if you need money -- just PM Charley... he's loaded with it and is an easy touch.
