    Yep, as I said in the Gibraltar thread, it seems as if the yachts and cruise ships are leaving the Caribbean earlier than usual.

    Hi Wadadli,

    Can you remember when these photos were taken?

    Oh, and in the first photo, the second house to the right is Mom and Dad's. :)

    In that first photo...wow! Is that "Unbridled" sailing past "Al Mirqab's" starboard side? Makes you realize how large that Peterswerft yacht is.

    Yup that's her indeed, and those were my exact sentiments! That photo definitely emphasized Al Mirqab's grandeur!

    Yep, "Unbridled" isn't exactly the smallest yacht around. She is what? just shy of 60-meter LOA right with a beam of nearly 35-feet.

    Interesting

    Wow, first time I have seen a stern with a scissors lift platform... what's the name and who built it, I wonder???

    I suppose the "water slide = the plank" for unwanteds on board. That's about as scary as walking the plank... sure to be some serious "dock rash" and inability to sit down for a few months for anyone attempting exit that way.

    The yacht with the scissors lift is called Silver Cloud, As for the slide, am assuming that it is there for display purposes lol

    The builder of "Silver Cloud" is A&R, Abeking & Rasmussen.
