[adru]

Why is Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's yacht in New York?

How about.... Winter blues in full swing on BE?

Ah Ha! I was wondering where it was headed when it left here. Good question. Why NY at this time of year? They must have run into some pretty nasty weather on the way too.

The article said it was in NY for some work on the vessel. I guess it is still under warranty?

Apparently it senses the range finding signal from the camera & shoots a lazer at it, effectively blinding the camera.

Guess it was not turned on when I took these.

Basically, how this works is the ship is a floating hotel. The owner sends his boat to a place that is on his travel agenda. He then flies in with a plane load of girl friends. He parties for a few days while his wife thinks he's on a business trip. A boat like this can hold a lot of alcohol and hookers.
