Kismet at the Isle of Man

[Burt]

Brother Burt has just reported that Shahid Khan's modest little dinghy has arrived...

If you haven't seen it yet, Google Kismet... It's worth a look.

...when Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson lay mortally wounded on the deck of The Victory it is said he beckoned Thomas Hardy to him and said "kiss me Hardy". However, there is a school of thought that he actually said "kismet Hardy" (Fate)...

As "superyachts" go, this is actually pretty run of the mill, Lurssen of Alblasserdam is a bit like the Ford of personal yachts. The company I used to work for designed and built real biggies for the super-wealthy - princes, sheiks, sultans etc. We even designed a replacement Britannia that never got off the drawing board. You just wouldn't believe what some of them had - double-helical Italian marble staircases in a central atrium for Sultan X, a deck for the Prince Y's girlfriend to walk her dog complete with lamp-post (the poop deck), sliding side doors to the bedroom for that morning dip for the Emir of Z, etc etc...
