Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign toasted its top donors Wednesday aboard a 150-foot yacht flying the flag of the Cayman Islands.
The floating party, hosted by a Florida developer on his yacht "Cracker Bay," was one of a dozen exclusive events meant to nurture those who have raised more than $1 million for Romney's bid.
"I think it's ironic they do this aboard a yacht that doesn't even pay its taxes," said a woman who lives aboard a much smaller boat moored at the St. Petersburg Municipal Marina.
Romney's Cayman-based investments have come under fire during the campaign.
The event, attended by no more than 50 people, along with Romney relatives, including older brother Scott, appeared on no public calendars. ABC News obtained a schedule of the Romney campaign's "Victory Council" and waited dockside to speak with members.
"It was a really nice event. These are good supporters," said billionaire Wilbur Ross, an energy industry executive.

Willard, a man of the people....
So what? Lots of yachts are flagged in other countries.
And yet 20 to 35 million illegal immigrants who can’t support themselves coming across our borders probably doesn’t bother this ass at all.
It must really piss Leftists off when they see people who actually support themselves and aren’t breaking our nation’s laws.
The solution is to make the US tax system more competitive.
Notice they do no mention John Kerry’s yacht...
Damned rich people - now I see why Obama wants to take their money away and give it to us poor folks - Obama is my hero........
But Romney will never diddle an intern in the Oval Office.
Google the flag of Bermuda. Note the color.
Google the flag of Cayman Islands. Note the color.
look at the flag on the yacht in this pic.
Feel silly? ;-)
Doesn't bother Romney either.
IT WASN’T HIS YACHT, for cryin out loud.
I heard that they made a mistake identifying the flag and it was really a Bahama’s flag?
*Yawn*
Did Lurch ever pay the taxes due on his to the state of MA?
I agree. Our tax code chases people overseas.
ABC is not bothered by the son of a foreigner usurping the office of President of The United States.
But a flag, oh man, that’s a real problem.
Obama’s “party yacht” flies the Air Force One logo.
It buzzes Manhattan to liven up our lives.
