It’s our last full day in Bar Harbor. We decided to take the ferry over to the Schoodic Peninsula. During the journey over, we saw this behemoth in the harbor:
I don’t know if you can see it in the small image, but click through to the full size image and check out the tail of that helicopter on the back of that yacht. If you look carefully, you’ll recognize the helmet of the Miami Dolphins. A little bit of googling later and I confirm that it’s H. Wayne Huizenga’s yacht, The Floridian. With room for 12, a helipad (!), and a decompression chamber for divers, this boat is huge, and it looks it when you roll by.
We’ve heard the chopper flying overhead the last day or two. It passed over us when we were on Bar Island today and we saw it last night heading out to the ship. That helicopter is one of only three of its kind flying in the U.S. Must be nice to be Wayne Huizenga.

There are some big ones out there. I was up in Traverse City MI and saw a 70 footer. Wondering what they named this large vessel I walked to the stearn to see they simply named it BOAT. Wow thats ego for ya.
