Boating on the Bay: A slip in time ensures first cocktail
Securing a convenient and affordable mooring for one’s yacht could rightly be considered a ‘first-world’ problem of little concern to most of us. Certainly, conjuring up sympathy for an oligarch struggling to park his 80-foot super-yacht would be beyond me.
