    He owns a yacht. I’d be interested to hear of a single yacht owner who is a decent person. I’m not sure one exists.

    Edit: Thanks for the cool examples of decent people with yachts!

        That’s an excellent exception, and quite interesting. Thanks for the link!

      Some people live on yachts and that’s their entire home. So like a 70,000£ yacht, then like 300£ a month in slip (berth) fees, including electric and whatnot. I strongly considered it. It’s roughly the same cost but better than caravan living, IMO.

      It’s a decent alternative to a landlocked home.

      But yeah, millionaires with yachts are a different thing.

        That’s a good use case. I’d be interested to know more about the idiosyncrasies that come with that lifestyle, like if they go out to sea when a storm is expected, or just weather it out in the harbor.

          They are almost always better in their dock, specifically boats optimised as condos are terrible at sea since open ocean is not in their design brief

          Perhaps they might be better up river as far as they can go

      My ex-teamlead owns a yacht (if he didn’t sell it). The catch is that yacht is worth about $40 thousands, not $4 millions.

      Also there was a person in USSR who built a yacht and circumnavigated the Earth on that, not everyone who do own a yach own that luxury slab of floating gold

        Noah would’ve been a genocide-complicit, doomsday cult prepper, similar to those who build private libertarian cities on the ocean or some planet as a climate adaptation strategy.

          Lot.

          And actually, to be “fair” to him, his daughters raped him.

          As written it’s not strictly his fault. Even if his parenting skills clearly lack.
