I'm beginning to believe the boat was a method of transportation that did not require reservations or planning and probably less expensive than a private/charter jet.
Good way to avoid Larry Birkhead's lawyers when they had to visit the US for various reasons.
You are probably right. Would be my choice under those circumstances also. We used to stay on the water all day and come home looking like we had been on it for a week :o) which is why I couldn't figure ANS being all about a boat - altho I think she looked much better without the full makeup and styled hair.
