You really think rich people in other countries are different?

No, but I don't live in other countries and this happened in the U.S.   Just an observation, don't wad up your panties.

If this were the founder of pornhub, everyone here would be blaming the rocks.  

Yeah, but there’s a lot higher chance they would’ve kept at least one hand on the wheel.

Goddammit.  Slaughterhouse next door is a staple for snorkeling, including swimming around the point into Honolua.  Fantastic area to chill for a day.

They’ve probably chartered a fishing trip a couple of times at a bachelor party in Cabo or something, and now they are yacht experts. Too funny. Never change Surly. 

They just want to be experts in getting pegged by Captain Sandy.

Sounds like the charter company crew has some explaining to do.

This thread is classic Surly. The Surly 2% (wink wink) start running at the mouth about what a POS yacht it is, acting like it’s a dinged up old Jon boat that they’d be embarrassed to be seen in. They’ve probably chartered a fishing trip a couple of times at a bachelor party in Cabo or something, and now they are yacht experts. Too funny. Never change Surly. 

I got an A in canoeing at Austin High back in the day, so I suggest you stay in your lane.

Don’t blame him. Seriously though fuck this guy. He’s about to get the freeze from every person on this island. Moored for 48 hours on a mooring that has a 2 hour limit. Company didn’t drain the boat before ditching it. This is also on the local government and CG though, she sat there for 24 hours without anyone draining the fuel or setting up a protective barrier. God knows what this is doing to the reef. Fucking shame because this is one of the best reefs on Maui. Here’s a not dead turtle pic from a dive of mine there to make everyone happier

Not the picture I was hoping for, but okay.
