Ship spotting

Looks like they were race boats, just MILITARY race boats!

Those are seriously big utes.

I want one!
Shut up and take my money!

Those are seriously big utes.

They're probably 7 tonners.  Just with a fancy and shiny (commercial-grade) grey paint scheme, instead of CARC Sand.

But the real question is how many gallons to the mile?

Doesn't matter, they're on the taxpayer's dollar...

They look a bit like a Ford F650/750, for those the specs say not quite 8 miles to the gallon      About the same as my old Dodge C-Class motorhome which had a 440ci gasoline engine

I couldn't believe some of the private yachts we saw when we were at Atlantis in the Bahamas. Man, some people have serious cash

Unfortunately I'm not one of them.

I found Split a fascinating place when I was there in 2018, on a cruise with SWMBO & some friends. Diocletian's palace is really interesting, both for its history & its current status as what is basically a residential suburb. Also went to Trogir, the Old Town is a real Mediaeval maze & the area is stunningly beautiful (SWMBO stated the desire to retire there but, as we aren't mega-yacht owners, it's off the bucket list).

On the 10th floor overlooking the Detroit River here in Windsor. Was lucky enough to see aa LCS come by. With some CDN and US CG boats.

Quick check on Google says she's USS Marinette (LCS-25).

My immediate reaction on reading that Wiki entry was 'How the hell did they build and launch a ship that big in WISCONSIN? It's in the middle of the USA!' But I forgot that it's on the Great Lakes...............
