    Last I heard, they’re bored and rudders are fun to play with.

    We need to give them some orca proof toys.

          The word yacht doesn’t mean wealth,

          Yes, yes it does. It doesn’t mean ‘billionaire,’ but these aren’t subsistence fishermen we’re talking about here.

          It was a $128,000 yacht. If you don’t think people who can afford such a yacht are rich, you are one privileged person.

            You’d be surprised how many people own a $128,000 yacht INSTEAD of a more-than-$128,000 house.

            (Of course, there are even more people who live aboard full-time on much-less-than-$128,000 yachts. For example, Sailing Uma probably have a bunch of money now 'cause they’re relatively successful Youtubers, but they started out spending only about $10k total (purchase + initial refit costs) for their 50-year-old, 36-foot boat. There’s an entire subculture of people doing basically nautical #vanlife, and they aren’t any richer than the homeless-by-conventional-standards people doing it on land.)

              I’ve met them, they fucked up someone else’s boat in the marina I was at, they didn’t offer to fix or help pay, they just bailed. They definitely fit into the asshole category, in my opinion.
