I lived on a boat in the SF marina for a year...
There was a guy that would commute into SF via a MASSIVE zodiac with (4) 600-HP engines and would do ~80MPH across the bay from Saucalito to the ferry building. He had a full time boat pilot, who he paid ~$100K/year (I asked) and he would make it from saucalito to SF in ~15 minutes.
He was a hedgie in FiDi...
As someone who has made the GGB commute all the way down to Sunnyvale for a time... I was super jealous of the fact this guy had that luxury.
- urthor 4y agoThis is brilliant innovation. Minus the need to pay the pilot, surely you just diy.
- samstave 4y agoToo much [re[ and tear-down, then re-prep etc... That guy probably made $100,000 in a day.
- kristjansson 4y agoNever mind the time savings, the manic, childish joy of turning 2400hp up to 100 every morning was probably worth every penny.
