Port McNeill

We were busy in here ! Three loads of laundry, grocery shopping and general cleaning and preparing.

Shopping has been made much easier with Dorothy Porter’s Rolser ! When we moved to our condo Dorothy gifted me her Rolser for bringing things up from the car to the condo. It’s perfect for the boat, it folds up and stores away easily. I’m sure she would be thrilled to see it being used on the boat.

Full of groceries and 12 cans of tonic water.

Yesterday afternoon the largest single mast sailboat in the world came in to Port McNeill. We all watched it come to the Government dock. There was no way it would fit in at North Island Marina.

The name of the boat is M5
Every billionaire boat needs a float plane !
Backing in to the dock
It has a little garage for a little inflatable skiff

The boat is 255 feet long with a 50 foot beam.

This is the Tender for the M5 sailboat. It’s about 70 feet.

Apparently a Texas Billionaire owns the boat.

We are on our way to Clam Cove this morning in our little 42 foot Kadey Krogen ! We all have the same view ! Although I’m sure the guests on the M5 don’t have to do dishes !

  1. I am sure you probably explained it but because of the wind and my poor hearing, I couldn’t really hear anything you were saying in the one video. How do they get the flat plane on and if the boat?

    1. I don’t think I was saying anything important. The plane would probably be hooked up to a big winch and lifted on and off the boat. As it’s a float plane it would just be put in the water and then fly off. We didn’t get that close to it. It was massive.
