One of the more luxurious things that I dream of having is a yacht. Just to see one of those fabulous crafts is simply breathtaking. What more if I actually went inside one? I can just imagine the clean, wooden floor, the mast which holds colorful
boat flags. Not to mention the navigator's cabin where you can see all the controls to steer the yacht. It is just so amazing!
It's just a little disappointing to think that only the wealthy can afford one of these million-dollar babies. Yes, a recreational yacht can cost an arm and a leg. But wouldn't it be nice if you took them out on a cruise as you taste the salty wind blowing in your face and watch the deep blue sea cascade with waves as you sail along. Wouldn't that be so exciting?
Sometimes, I think that yachts are complex forms of transportation. The prospect of steering it yourself and sailing in the wild blue yonder would probably require knowledge on basic boat safety, navigation and seamanship, including a good understanding of the weather and perhaps some meteorology. A good boat captain knows when it is safe to sail or to steer clear of a storm. On a good day, however, the excitement of sailing on a clear blue sky and a warm sun coupled with the salty wind in your face is an ultimate high for sea lovers like me.
Most yachts are owned by the rich and famous. They may include a movie mogul, a chart-busting rapper, a real estate magnate or a member of the royalty, among others. The more luxurious yachts have helipads to accommodate jetsetters who probably hurry down to their exclusive rooms and relax on a portable Jacuzzi while sipping a glass of champagne. What a luxurious way to unwind! As the setting sun fills the sky with an orange hue, visitors start to flock on the boat with its
pennants flapping, inviting them to attend a party of some sort with the beat of some dance music audible in the distance.
Riding a yacht can be one of the great things we can all dream about. But I think it's really worth it. Don't you think so too?
