Like water off a duck’s back Aside from a few downed signs and such, there was no damage to megayachts or exhibitors’ booths at the Yacht & Brokerage Show as a result of Friday night’s squall. There should be no more rain through the end of the show, but the cold temps will remain so stay warm. Or cuddle up with your Valentine. You did remember today is Valentine’s Day, didn’t you?
Network tonight with the crew from The Triton The Triton is hosting a networking event tonight from 6-8 p.m. at the U.S. Superyacht booth on ramp 14. We’ll gather for casual networking and camaraderie. All yacht crew and business folks are welcome to join us and enjoy food, drink and music. No need to RSVP. Just bring business cards and your Valentine (or find one there).
Megayacht carries bright yellow float plane on deck With retractable wings, a float plane fits on the sundeck of the 92-foot Argos series of megayachts by Tricon Marine. (The builder’s 100-foot model will be able to handle a helicopter.) The yacht’s davit isn’t big enough to move the plane, so an external crane is required. See it on Collins between ramps 13/14.

Mate Greg Eller M/Y Lucky Seven “Not this year, but she should definitely be in the business. I had one on the same boat once; it worked great.�
Stew Tiem Tran M/Y Fighting Irish “I do not want to work with someone I’m dating. To live and work with someone, it’s just too much. You have to leave the dock sometime.�

Capt. Chris Chumley M/Y Casa Blanca “No matter how big the boat is, if things aren’t going well, it’s the smallest boat you’ve ever seen.”
Stew Kristy Royle M/Y INXS “It’s awesome,” Royle said of her Valentine, Mate Luke Fleming. “It doesn’t really feel like we’re together when we are working. It’s not until we’re off that we’re a couple. I know some out there don’t like to hire couples because they’re afraid they’ll encounter problems, but I can’t see that happening with us.”
Capt. Andrew “Hutch” Hutchins M/Y Khaki Blue “We’ve been together three years,” Hutch said of his relationship with Chef/Stew Nina Viola. “That’s like 15 years in boat life.”

Stew Lisa Hines M/Y Hope “It’s actually better than I imagined,” Hines said of her relationship with Capt. Peter “Mitch” Mitchell. “When we first came aboard, I was nervous, but it’s worked out good. The owner wanted the feel of a family. I really wish they weren’t selling the boat.”
Chief Stew Callie Monaghan M/Y Muchos Mas “I have four special someones. I call them my crew.”
First Mate Rosco Barnes M/Y Muchos Mas “No, I’ve no plans at all for Valentine’s Day. I’m just trying to get through the boat show.”
