Jeff's New Ride


Recommended Posts

Jeff Bezos has a new boat, quite a contrast to vessels like "A" that was here for a while some years ago.

It has a dinghy too but not quite as modest as yours or mine;

The Dinghy

Koru will be trailed by Abeona, a 246-foot support vessel. Superyachts often have support vessels following along behind them. These “shadows,” as they are colloquially known, are for the “toys” — the ATVs, supercars, seaplanes, motorcycles, smaller boats, scuba gear, personal submarines and even helicopters that pleasure boaters might bring on a trip

 

and the vague Kiwi connection

The Name

Koru is Maori for “coil” or “loop” and refers to the unfurling of a fern frond. The koru design is common in traditional Maori art, where it symbolizes new life, growth and peace. Mr. Bezos included a photo of a koru frond in an Instagram post on Jan. 1, 2022.

 

anyway its nice to see something that looks like a sailing vessel
