Don't know if it's relevant or not but the big marlin fishing tournament is going on, or was, going on in Barra...

Excellent photo.

I have it on fairly good authority that is Carlos Slim's boat. It would be a great
photo to have them in a position to take a photo of one in front of the other. Or even
better next to each other from the vantage point of a quad copter at about 150 feet up.

I cropped Rob's photo.

I did an image search on it without any good hits.

This yacht was in the harbor at Barra today so they might have been checking out the tournament.
Not many fish came in on the boats today. One small Marlin and a medium one along with some dorado.

I think we have been " discovered "🤗😢

Did anyone notice the 3 masted square rigger sail boat which ghosted out of the early morning haze just after dawn yesterday? It was a truly lovely sight! She now lays at anchor next to the so called super yacht. Ostentatious displays of wealth are always obnoxious but a sail boat is a surely a thing of beauty and in better taste than just one more rich guy in a stink boat?

Actually, "we", or better said this beautiful place, was discovered a long long time ago. 34 years ago here, I met a woman who had been coming to these parts for 40 years.

Yachts

Posted by Judy Dykstra-Brown Email User on January 20, 2017, 9:41 am, in reply to "Re: Rising Sun"

The Rising Sun interiors look very cold and impersonal to me. Quite a contrast to the gorgeous scenery they must be viewing from what looks like an overgrown office or hotel. Daniel asked for a shot of both boats together. I did a blog on these boats last night and added a dual shot today, Daniel, just for you. If you want links to information about the supposed owners, go here:

Here is your photo, Daniel:

Whoa!!! I don't know where that photo came from. I've never seen it before in my life. I'm having terrible problems posting photos as my computer library is full..You may just have to go to my blog to see the correct photo. I'll try once again:

That should be the right one. If the Tiki palace shows up again, I'll know my computer has been possessed.

Well, it's official. I have gremlins in my Mac. The photos that show up when I try to post them are definitely of the two yachts. Sorry, Daniel. If you want to see them, please go to the blog link. Unless that one has been changed as well. Nice building, though. How I can link to something not even on my computer, I can't imagine.

Sorry for my confusing messages, but when I looked at them, instead of the photo of the yachts, there was a photo of a building. This was true all three times I posted. When I told Daniel about it, he said he saw the yachts! And tonight, I can suddenly see the correct photos. Don't know how this could happen. Twilight Zone, but Daniel says he has known it to happen before. At any rate, all's well on the message board now.. Sorry for the triple posting..
