It's actually a Cayman flag. It is much better for tax purposes to register luxury vessels in Cayman (or Panama, or the Bahamas) than in the U.S.

From the registry report: "The Country the Yacht is Flagged in: Cayman Islands - The official registry port is George Town and her home port is Fort Lauderdale, USA - Class society used: LR (Lloyds Register)"

They are living their dreams and have allowed us to live ours. I've always dreamed of living on water or a golf course and guess what? I will be thanks to these smart developers!

She is registered in the Cayman Islands.

Did you get the response you were looking for?

If the Morse's are happy, I'm happy. I hope they continue to build, invest in, manage, and love The Villages they created for many many years to come.

Now, if I only fate will somehow create the scenario where the Morse's say "Hey Richie, we're going out on the "boat" to the islands, you want to come along?

Beautiful yacht ! They have very good taste.

They've have the right to spend their money however they want, even if they are confused about which way the USA should be headed (it's a joke, folks!). So, again, is there a point?

The point is that I found it interesting and thought perhaps others would also find it interesting. This site used to be about sharing information. There is no negative or positive point in my posting this. I am a big fan of the Morse family and very thankful for the great place that they have created for us to live in. I dislike politics so I could care less what way you or anyone else think which way the USA should be headed. But it does not surprise me that someone would add that to this post either as a comic or critic.

That being said I hesitated to post this information because of what would perhaps be posted by those who dislike the Morse family. But when I posted it I did not think I would be asked to explain why I posted it. I have found that this site has to many critics and comics and I have not posted much in the last year for that reason.

I see that you have 4,561 posts since 2007 so I guess you may be used to being asked why you started a post but in my 673 posts also since 2007 this is a first.

Politics was added in your original post. "It has been said that it will be used heavily during the GOP convention in Tampa this August for GOP dignitaries." I took this as your baiting for some political response.......was I wrong?

I am happy for the nice posts. Something like this usually draws mean ones.

Good luck to 'em. I too am "living the lifestyle" and love every minute of my lifestyle here at TV. While its on a more modest (say that again) scale, it all surpasses my wildest dreams. I am one of those smiling folks seen strolling the square, or during my yoga sessions - in the zone Sandra

You are correct and I can see that it could come off that I was on a political agenda however I truly was not.

I was given this information by a friend and thought many would find it interesting as I did so I passed it on. Before the friend sent me this information and to be honest I did not even know the GOP convention was in Tampa nor did I care. Now I am glad I know the GOP convention is in Tampa so I will say away from there at that time the same way I would if the Democrats were having their convention in the area. I truly am not a political person.

As I posted earlier that I feel this site used to be about sharing information about The Villages however it now seems that when you post something you have a special reason to do so. I do regret even posting the whole thing.
