[Chuck]

Anyone run across this oligarch looking yacht rolling into Camaano Sound on Sunday the June 16?
Was something like I’ve never seen.
Any info?

I saw this yacht a week ago, anchored in Hardy Bay. AIS was turned off, when I tried to look it up. I assumed it was an oligarch, hiding from Justin’s sanctions. Mystery solved!!

Very cool but I have to wonder why a vessel of such extravagance would be cruising the north coast of BC in June.
