More interesting to me is that they lease it out to select groups almost daily.  I would be terrified that some tourist would mess up my boat!  However, the other side of the coin is this:  who would know and\/or appreciate your investment if you don&#8217;t share it with complete strangers?!  I for one am glad they share.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>Today was a beautiful day with wonderful weather.  It even pales last night&#8217;s dinner which was hosted at a $13 million home.  (That&#8217;s not a misprint.)  The home is owned as a second home by a couple that vacation in Hawaii two weeks a year, so they felt that it was prudent to have a home here.  They evidently didn&#8217;t feel it was a good idea to be without EVERY amenity offered in today&#8217;s world, including, but not limited to, an infinity edge swimming pool.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"white-space:pre\"> <\/span>I believe that Hawaii is a beautiful place and a fabulous place to vacation, but this has certainly been the way to see it!  What a great adventure so far, and more to come over the next 3 days.
