    A boat named Excalibur! Yay! And if I had it I could be off to a place like Fowl Cay:

    Wow, look at that. The white sand blue water beach of the Sandal Royal Caribbean all inclusive resort.

    And if I had that or something similar I could get there. See how this works? You get me yacht or powerboat and I get to Caribbean islands. [:D]

    Wow! Kite surfing off my very own catarmaran sailing yacht in the grenadines! A white sand beach with palm trees swaying in the background...

    Now, I know some of you entertain silly notions about nesteggs and having children but honestly you cannot take it with you and kids tend to smeel.

    This is a shot of 3 boats anchored offshore of the isle of Tobago. It lies just outside the hurricane belt in the Southern Caribbean. It is one of two islands that make up the Republic Of trinidad. You'll notice that onceagain I am not in the posted pic. That's because you're not helping. You see a tortoise in the sand on its back, it is baking in the Sun but you'r not helping.

    Total contributions:

    $0.72...I have some change on the coffee table.

    A catamaran in French polynesia.

    [image=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/KnifeToTheSoul/image002.jpg]

    Hot Polynesian girls in a canoe, sailboat off to the right.

    That's the nice thing about sailboats, unlimted range.

    Current fund total: $0.00. I had to use the coffee table change for coffee.

    Did you forget? Obviously so.

    [image=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/KnifeToTheSoul/catamarandiscovery.jpg]

    Now that's a good looking catamaran surrounded by that pretty water.

    [image=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/KnifeToTheSoul/Landscape-BoraBoraLagoonwithCata-1.jpg]

    And that catamaran floats of an island of Bora Bora.

    Yep. Could be me. [:D]

    That model is called Leopard 46. Here's a 3 cabin layout-

    [image=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/KnifeToTheSoul/4389.gif]

    There is a 4 cabin layout which would be nice for the extra passenger carrying ability.

    info, pics and a VIDEO

    One good thing I'd be inclined to attach is a Sky Sail

    [image=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/MV_Beluga_SkySails_%26_The_Skysail.jpg]

    A little extra speed for a nice cat.

    A bit used that beauty is ONLY half a million dollars! [face_dancing]

    Total fund is up to $0.00.....still.

    I believe in helping those that help themselves. I was really encouraged that you wanted the yacht when I saw you had finally contributed some of your own money. Sadly in the next post you had spent all your savings on a lousy cup of coffee. Evidentially a cup of coffee is more important that your yacht. I suggest a buy a cup of coffee for Montie thread instead.

    But I can afford the coffee, I cannot afford the yacht which is where you come in. See? Simple!

    You should make a website like HILLARYCLINTON.COM and find a way to make reference to it in every post.

    For instance:

    "RebelScum, I don't think it's a very good idea to hit on people on myspace.com, but as long as you're spending so much time online, you should take some time off from stalking people and visit VADERSLAMENT.COM and donate to my Yacht Fund."

    I would like a yacht too.

    EDIT after reading thread: Holy crap Montie! Stop with the pictures of gorgeous sunny locations, it's driving me crazy! I still have three weeks of exams that can't be wasted daydreaming! :_|

    No you see simple you say "wow I would like a yacht. If I made my own coffee instead of paying for coffee at a coffee shop I would save X dollars per year and in x years I would be able to finally buy that yacht."

    I have actually done that but with threads links that lead to this thread and for some reason I get accused of thread advert/hijacking! :eek:

    Don't forget you have to pay for upkeep too. This won't be a one time donation so let's get cracking.

    I especially like the pic where the boat sits at anchorage just of the white snad beach.

    The entire ocean. The entire wo'ld. Wherever we want to go, we'll go. That's what a ship is, you know. It's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs but what a ship is... what the Black Pearl really is... is freedom.

    Nice huh? Now understand I do not want a monohull. They can be nice but multihulls are more stable and can go quite fast. So even though that is a nice pic I will not be using your money to buy a monohull.

    Well we can't pass up an opportunity with all this extra traffic now can we?

    [image=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/KnifeToTheSoul/med_Orange_Project_bow.jpg]

    That is a trimaran of the experimental sort. It is called the Orange Sail project and is billed as the fastest sailing vessel in the world having been clocked at some 47 knots. That's 54 mph for you land lubbers. I'm sure it'll cost millions but you can handle it. I would add my stimulus check money to the fund but that's for me.

    Current fund total: $0.00

    I was thinking of using the ship of a thousand years as my personal luxury yacht, myself. J-w refuses to sell it, but we'll see about that.
