Will there be a regularly scheduled zumba class on the bow area, every week? Maybe it could be named the 'ZUMBA' .... with just five letters, not a bad name for a big yacht .... can go buy some big letters at Hobby Lobby in Tilton for short money.

While sailboat deliveries across the Atlantic are not unusual, there are about nine yachts drifting in the Atlantic Ocean—abandoned by their crews after being hit by heavy squalls.
Catamarans and trimarans are more resistant to totally sinking, but all have been written-off by their insurors.
Most rescues were successful, but the boats are still circulating—
one found after nine years of sailing with no one aboard!
