Hungry for the Rich

Here’s a photo to give a belly laugh to those who are envious of the obscenely wealthy crowd that owns mega-yachts. We don’t share that envy, but we got a big laugh out of it anyway.

These slides, always customized with the boat name, are very popular on large charter boats in the Caribbean and in the Med, where every toy is mandatory for a boat to be marketable.

But there is danger lurking everywhere. We were told that a while back, West Coast sailing great Kimo Worthington somehow broke a leg going down a slide on Jim Clark’s 292-ft Athena.

In any event, the best caption we’ve heard for the above photo? "Shark Sliders."
