A $40 million yacht owned by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was reportedly untied from the dock at a northern Ohio marina and set adrift.

The captain of the 163-foot yacht, named "Seaquest," called the Huron Police Department early Sunday morning when the crew realized the boat was floating in the Huron Boat Basin, The Toledo Blade reported.

The yacht hit a dock, causing between $5,000 and $10,000 in damage, the newspaper added, citing a police report.

Investigators are hoping surveillance footage will show who untied the yacht from the dock.

It is one of 10 boats owned by DeVos and her family, according to the newspaper.

It is unclear why the Michigan family's boat was in northern Ohio, the Blade noted.

DeVos is one of the wealthiest members of President Trump’s Cabinet.

Business Insider reported in February that DeVos and her husband, former Amway CEO Dick DeVos, have an estimated net worth around $1.3 billion.

Emboldened by this criminal act their next attempt will involve getting someone aboard who knows how to operate the yacht.
They will seek to get the large craft on a collision course towards other ships and hop overboard long before impact to a waiting small boat.
Leftwinger criminals are naturally emotional and creative. Security will likely need to think like producers of Hollywood action movies.

Would he be okay with all the jobs that were provided to all the architects, engineers, craftsmen & laborers that built it?

Personally, I’d prefer this:

Granted I dont think the military would even jokingly call it that, I was a hole snipe and carried a knife to untie any knot or bend remotely stubborn. Usually more adept at splicing, bends and knots that most boatswain’s mates I’ve met......just never heard of a yacht knot.

Says the person who told us to spit in Jeff Sessions face?

I see that you’ve been properly schooled on your inane comment.

Maybe you’re on the wrong forum?

Exactly!

They dock one of their boats in the Leland harbor on Lake Michigan as they tour through every summer . It’s beautiful. Most people around our State love what they have done for our part of the country, they are an amazing family.

Being jealous or playing this resistance BS would not be received well here.

I love a pile-on. You have a car and a climate controlled place to live, a choice of fresh fruits and vegetables from all over the world, every manner of meat known to man, phone, computer and TV while there are starving children in Africa.

I don’t see any room to park the helicopter.
If I can’t park my helicopter on my yacht, it just is not big enough.

[BlueLancer]

I can't see anyone who is able to walk on water needing a boat.......

Well, if one of the apostles wanted to water-ski, I can't see them hitching the tow rope up to Jesus ...

[Rebelbase]

Gorgeous.

[Hot Tabasco]

Can't argue with that logic........

As a side note, I wonder why nobody has ever thought about setting a world record in the number of water skiers towed behind an aircraft carrier..........

"You know, I just can’t see Jesus being ok with a $40,000,000 boat."

Christians are supposed to be socialist peasants, according to rich Leftists dogooders.

As a side note, I wonder why nobody has ever thought about setting a world record in the number of water skiers towed behind an aircraft carrier..........

Because those things are DANGEROUS!

[Hot Tabasco]

I am thankful a storm did not kick-up or this unmanned ship could have easily killed someone.

A ship of that size in a storm on Lake Erie would easily be seen by anyone on the water, day or night.

And at 163 feet, 3 - 5 ft. white caps would move that yacht slower than you trying to push your truck up a 10 percent grade hill.........
