Chapter 316 I Have a Boat License (One Update, Continue to Ask for Tickets, Ask for Subscriptions, Mo Mo Da~)
What happened on that day 10 years ago?
Eric's invitation wasn't about a yacht race, but about a party on his new luxury yacht, Columbus Yachts, supposedly attended by some of the boys who like to wander high society on the table.
The main event of the party is the public auction of several oil paintings on the yacht, all said to be the work of famous masters, and those who are invited need to drive their own yacht to participate, and then show the invitation letter before they are allowed to board the boat.
Lin Zitan pinched the invitation sent by Eric, which was the black and gold of the ascetic system he was used to, which looked a little mysterious and a little solemn.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Emma's little hand shook in front of his eyes, and from the moment he entered the door, he saw that Lin Zitan was a little confused, and thought to himself, isn't it just an invitation?
And she knew at a glance that it was the style of the painter upstairs, and she had seen this person, except that she felt that this person was occasionally a little nonsensical,
Her impression of Eric was okay.
"Emma, will you drive a yacht?" Lin Zitan retracted his chaotic thoughts and asked softly as he looked up at Emma.
Recently, in addition to occasionally cooking by himself, Lin Zitan will take Emma to eat food scattered in all corners of Manhattan whenever he has time, mostly Michelin-starred restaurants, except for Per se, which is still highly praised until 2013.
Lin also took Emma to the four-star Eleven Madison Park restaurant, which is best known for its seafood
Le Bernardin Restaurant.
The one I went to today is called Daniel's restaurant, which is the same as Lin Zitan's English name, and the founder of this three-Michelin restaurant, Daniel?? Brude is New York's premier chef,
A New York food review website said of his cooking: "He gave me a taste of heaven." What makes diners want to go is the restaurant's secret weapon, the secret deep-sea red snapper.
"Yacht, I have a license to sail, but I don't drive much, what's the matter, you want me to drive a yacht?" Emma asked with a smile as she sat down next to Lin Zitan, reached out and hugged his waist sideways.
"If you want to open it, just open it one day, didn't I tell you last time that I bought two and put them in that vacation home in the Bronx?" Lin Zitan said, raising his hand and gently scratching Emma's upturned little nose.
In the past, when Lin Zitan practiced driving a yacht by himself, he was always accompanied by Danny or Kyle, because he had scruples, he never dared to let Emma get on the boat, so now Lin Zitan suddenly mentioned it, which made Emma a little surprised.
"Okay, if you have time, you can take me with you~" Emma replied casually, and the person looked sleepy in Lin Zitan's arms.
----------------------
On a weekend afternoon near mid-July, Lin Zitan took Emma to see the yacht at his vacation home in the Bronx.
The two that he bought before, plus Mike's old yacht that he bought back later, were docked at the dock of his vacation home in turn.
Not long ago, Danny had someone to maintain it.
In fact, having a yacht in the United States does not mean anything, this thing is probably the same as a car in China, the poor must not be able to afford it, but those who can afford it are not necessarily rich people.
Because a boat license is easier to get than a driver's license, and people here can buy a yacht as easily as they buy a car.
It is impossible to have a precise answer to the question of how many private yachts and boats there are in the United States as there are cars in the United States, and about four or five percent of the households own them, excluding the vast central non-watered areas.
In addition to those luxury yachts that billionaires spend tens of millions of dollars to buy or customize, the price of water leisure boats for ordinary people also varies greatly.
From a paddle boat for a few hundred dollars to a jet ski for several thousand dollars, from a sailboat for tens of thousands of dollars to a million-dollar double-decker yacht.
As we all know, Manhattan was originally an island, surrounded by the East River, the Harlem River and the Hudson River.
Manhattan is bordered by New Jersey to the west, the Bronx to the northeast, and Brooklyn and Queens to the east and south, and Manhattan is mainly connected to these places by bridges and tunnels.
Because Inner Manhattan is surrounded by highways, yachts can only be parked in residential areas near the sea that live in other suburbs, which is why Lin Zitan has located his vacation home in the East Bronx.
The house he bought was in Throgs neck, a small single-family cottage with a huge yard and more than 5,000 feet of land, and the front yard could park two off-road vehicles and three yachts at the same time.
There is a boardwalk in the backyard that leads directly to the sea, so if the yacht goes to sea and docks directly at their own small dock.
"It's so beautiful here!" Emma ran to the end of the boardwalk in her flat heels, where the view was the most open, and the direction on the left hand side could see the Maritime College of the State University of New York.
In front of them is the town of White Rock, across the bridge from them, and on the right hand side is the golf course of Trump's old thief and the White Rock Bridge connecting Queens and the Bronx.
Lin Zitan stood behind Emma and looked at the blue sea and blue sky in front of him, the sea breeze blew the hair of the two people, the evening glow reflected the sea, and the summer heat was instantly blown away by the sea breeze with a hint of coolness.
Emma chose the latest yacht, which is actually not very expensive, and the brand-new Lin Zitan only bought more than 300,000 US dollars, which can be paid in installments, and it is about less than 2,000 US dollars a month.
Lin Zitan's ship is not for the wind, so it is not luxurious, and the operation is very simple, only the huge steering wheel in the cockpit needs to be grasped, and the speed, communication, and signal are all controlled by a few buttons, which is simpler than playing games.
In the United States, if you have a place to dock, it is much more convenient to drive a yacht than to drive a car, and burning diesel fuel is more fuel-efficient than driving a car! A tank of oil can be driven for two or three months.
After Emma followed Lin Zitan to the boat, without waiting for him to make more introductions, she operated the yacht very skillfully and slowly sailed away from the dock.
In the summer evening, in the afterglow of the sunset, two people set sail on the vast sea with a yacht, leaving all their troubles behind, riding the wind and waves, and enjoying the happiness and beauty of this moment away from the mortal!
---------------------------
The day that Lin Zitan was looking forward to and fearful finally came as scheduled, and Lin Zitan surveyed the sea area where Eric was going to hold a party three days in advance, in order to be fully prepared.
As a fashionable lifestyle, yacht party not only gives people enough freshness, but also gives people a high-end and mysterious imagination space.
How many business celebrities and workplace elites are proud to be able to participate in various yacht parties, and how many "dicks" dream of a dream yacht trip.
The average yacht trip in New York is only around the bay near Manhattan, along the East River to the Hudson River, and along the way you can enjoy the views of Seventeen Piers, Lower Manhattan, the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, Governors Island, and the Statue of Liberty, but you can't go to the open sea.
Eric's million-dollar luxury yacht is parked at the southern tip of New Rochelle, adjacent to the Port of Washington on Long Island, to the east by the maritime border of New York and Connecticut, and to the west by Orchard Beach and City Island in the Bronx.
All partygoers should arrive at their designated location by 6:30 p.m. on their own yacht and present an invitation to board Eric's luxury yacht and embark on a dream yacht journey with great anticipation.
Lin Zitan was attending such a party for the first time, and he specifically confirmed with Eric whether he needed to bring a female companion, but the answer was of course no, so he attended with Louis, and his yacht was directly driven back by Danny, leaving Kyle to follow him on the boat.
"Tonight looks like it's going to be lively!" Louis said with a smile as he pointed to the crowd of demons dancing on deck to the music.
