I'm not even gonna try to describe the Antigua Charter Yacht Show.

It was just chance that I arrived when it was going on. There were 73 sail and motor yachts in every size, age, type, and configuration. These in addition to the already posh fleet of local lovelies and yachts in transit. Rupert Murdoch's Rosehearty was there - all 184 feet of loveliness. Heh, we could get a few of us together and charter her . . . for a few minutes . . . she charters for 220,000 Euros a week . . . uh, plus expenses.

For those of you with a streak of masochism, here are a few web-sites:
