Octopi

We’ve all seen and heard a great deal about Paul Allen’s yacht Octopus over the years. But the other day I stumbled across this video of her on YouTube, and shockingly, it was one I hadn’t seen before. The video shows her passing through the Panama Canal. Note the ship that accompanies her in the lock for a size reference. Will she still be #2 on PMY’s America’s 100 Largest Yachts coming out this November? You’ll have to wait and see…



Here is are two other interesting videos of the 8,000-nm range vessel.

This is supposed to be a blog about boats, not sea life, right? Well, I’ll argue they’re inextricably intertwined. Who knows what you’ll see when you hook up the tanks and drop below the surface, especially if your vessel is in the waters off Indonesia:

This footage of an aquatic battle for survival is just too amazing not to post. Enjoy.
