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.




Never mind the time savings, the manic, childish joy of turning 2400hp up to 100 every morning was probably worth every penny.


This is brilliant innovation. Minus the need to pay the pilot, surely you just diy.


Too much [re[ and tear-down, then re-prep etc...

That guy probably made $100,000 in a day.
