[history]
On Wednesday, a private yacht sailed slowly and quietly up the Hudson River and docked near midtown Manhattan. This wasn't just any yacht, however. It was Eclipse -- the largest private yacht in the world. And its presence is sure to touch off a frenzy of speculation about its owners and future.

Docks with a boatload of security with what kind of weapons in New York? How come they are able to have guns and the rest of New Yorkers are prohibited? Hmmmm???? Also, preggy girlfriend gonna stay until she has her baby on U.S. soil for citizenship purposes? What a screwed-up country we have become.

Dude, trust me on this one: Abramovich don’t care about the citizenship of his baby. If he wanted it to have U.S. citizenship, he would just buy it. Legally, I might add. For what to him is less than pocket change.

Abramovich don’t care about the citizenship of his baby.I was thinking "natural-born citizen" so Abramovich could buy him/her the presidency with less controversy.

Docked in New York? The billionaire better make sure he’s not drinking a super-sized Coke.
To: MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
Also, preggy girlfriend gonna stay until she has her baby on U.S. soil for citizenship purposes What would be the point in that? Russia has much lower taxes, 14% flat tax and these people are wealthy, arguably more freedom and no obama to deal with.

Roman Abramovich...his kid is a royal a-hole. They have “family” in Conn. with, as 4 years ago strong connection to Wall Street!

Our pontoon sits on a 10,000 pound-capable Polylift.
We might have to shop for something else for this big tub.
