The Octopus, owned by Paul Allen of Microsoft, is one big boat. On the bow and stern of her 414 feet sit helicopters, a tender on the side and somewhere among all those decks, a swimming pool . Last we heard, it's in Argentina and there was a problem with one of the helicopters going kerplunk into the sea, but according to the news, the pilots are okay.
He must be either headed to the Antarctic, or on his way home, though I doubt he will have to endure the entire long haul. Must be nice to have a crew take your boat where you want to go, then just fly in for the fun part. I doubt he is one of those global warming freaks or he'd not be runnin around pumping out CO2 by the boat load :o)
Sumthin tells me Paul Allen isn't concerned with the cost of his health insurance...but the latest decision on Obamacare is explained quite well here.
