    ..the yacht “Viva” was spotted experiencing technical difficulties while navigating the 17th Street Bridge.
    Hahahaha I bet she was...that's not the right direction hahaha...just joking.;)

    Maybe all these new exceptionally advanced hybrid propulsion system are not so advanced.

    I recall yacht Home experienced 2 system failures due to the HVAC knocking out the stabilizers....definitely not a good idea to cut the power of the stabilizers when you experience spikes.

    I read that it was sold to an American billionaire in the hedge fun industry.
