    Todays New York Times online has an interesting article about crewing on
    megayachts, for those of you who might be tempted.

    I'm not going to quote the whole thing here, but you can read it at:

    Seems like that life isn't all that great! Here's the introductory paragraph:

    For crew members of superyachts there are some basic rules - no hooking up
    with the guests, for example, and no drinking the boss's liquor without
    permission. But as any old salt will tell you, a couple of precepts trump
    all others: no matter how much you're enjoying yourself and no matter how
    exhilarating the exotic ports of call, never let it show.

    And never, ever let the owners think you're having as much fun as they are.
