Size Matters!

There are times at sea when there is no such thing as a big enough boat.  However, most of the time, Oso Blanco is the perfect size boat for us and is wonderfully safe and comfortable.
 
In our travels we get to see many different types and sizes of boats and yachts.   Occasionally, we get to know the owners (or the crew of the big boats), but rarely are we up close or able to tour the large boats.   The last few weeks here in Fiji we have been docked next to 'Georgia', one of the largest sloops in the world at 160 feet!.   There are usually 4-5 other big boats here on our dock, and as our Ambassador, Bear wastes little time in getting to know the crew of the superyachts.   This morning, he arranged a full tour of Georgia and she is beautiful.
 
The photo shows us docked next to "Georgia" and accurately shows our relative size.   You can see some photos of "Georgia" if you google 'sailing yacht Georgia'.
