Today I had the honor of being the first to board the Christina
O when it officially opened for tours here in Canary Wharf, London. I had
posted a blog about the Onassis owned Mega Yacht earlier but now you get the
inside tour. I put protective covers on my shoes and was given a handheld device
that narrated my tour. The staff were helpful and well versed on everything
about the historical yacht. The who's who list of celebrities and world leaders
who spent time aboard was impressive, which included me. Check the picture of
the bar with stools upholstered from whale foreskins. I'm not kidding. I'd
have to through down a few before sitting on one, and I'd still be nervous.
Moby Dick lives on. The grand stair case fit the elegant theme that was used
throughout. Onassis bought this Canadian ship in the early 50's for $350,000,
and did a 4 million dollar make over. It is now privately owned. Great Tour!
