    I have received some sad news, that a mega yacht was on fire at the entrance of Castries Harbour, St Lucia this afternoon. It is unclear as to the name of the yacht which was engulf in flames, but I'll let you know later when I get further info.

    I hope its not Le Grand Bleu, because she was there through out the week :(
