The 300-foot blue-and-white pleasure yacht, built last year, was spotted in Alaska last month by the Unalaska Community Broadcasting outfit. Unalaska is a non-profit organisation that produces the public radio station KUCB, and the community television station Channel 8 in Unalaska, Alaska.

“The Equanimity sailed down from the Arctic Ocean after crossing the Northwest Passage from Greenland, a voyage only recently made possible by a shrinking polar ice cap.”

The yacht, the 39th largest in the world, apparently has “a swimming pool, a gym, a beauty salon and a crew of 28”.

Since then, the vessel has been spotted in Japan.

This is its port history:

Speculation has swirled around who the real owner of the yacht is. One yachting website discusses the ownership issue here.

A super yatch where free flow of expensive alcoholic drinks to the resounding Blue Moon cheers of “Lu Malai-Sai Lang Gong Tua Tai” is the norm?
Can’t blame the yatch but those who are still intoxicated by Snake Oil Seller’s slippery talk like “Lu China Lang bo pendataaaaang!”

Hooray
