Doing the Latest Rag!


Everyone is bursting with emotion,
Dancing as we cross the mighty ocean,
Moving to the rhythm of
The latest rag!
It was always a dream that two of my friends and I had. A dream to own a HUGE boat! Something that we shared, and sailed around in in luxury. We always loved Sunseekers, and I remember when we went to the Sydney International Boat Show one year, and we were able to go onboard a few and look around, and then the pure ecstasy of getting a Sunseeker showbag at the end which had all the beautiful boats in a hardcover book. Something that I still have to this day.
Haha, I remember we used to spend countless lunchtimes in the library, on the computers looking through the floorplans of the boats. Deciding on whose bedroom was whose, and if someone got a larger one, how the other two could have something else, like a jetski, to weigh it all up. I remember one of my friends actually sent an email to the company asking for a quote on our favourite, telling them our situation, that we were three friends who were looking to the future haha. Im pretty sure the sum taht came back was $30,000,000. Very expensive, but the amazing thing is that the sum didnt stop our dreams. Infact, it pushed them further, it gave sus something to work towards. We had all planned our careers, how each of us could make that $10,000,000, and then how we coudl eventually lease out the boat. Haha, good times.
What brought up this memory was an article I found on the internet a few days ago. It was about a new boat building company. They created these monolothic, utopian boats. HUGE structures that seemed more like a city, than a cruiser. These werent cruise ships either. They were for private use. Haha. Amazing boats though. Breath taking.

 
 
Yes, that is a volcano, on a boat. Yes, the top one comes with a submarine. Amazing. These are the 'Monaco' and 'Tropical Island' creations. If you would like to have a little look inside these 'islands' have a little tour of http://www.yachtislanddesign.com/ . Absolutely breathtakingly crazy. Lets just say, Sunseeker has now been place behind Yacht Island Design. Haha.
It may happen, one day. My friends and I may get lucky and become fabulously rich. You never know. Fate has a weird way of working.
