Laura Milholland

Sausalito, CA

The "A" - the 395' super yacht owned by 38 year old Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko -
anchored in the Bay with San Francisco and the Bay Bridge behind. I took this shot Saturday from Sausalito. A few more of my shots can be seen at: http://www.pbase.com/milholland_l/inboxtemp3

The "A" cost $300 million to build and was designed by Philippe Starck. It has a crew of 35-37, 23,600 square feet of living space,
has two 35' landing boats of ~ $1 million each, cost about $20 million a year to maintain, and it takes $500,000 worth of gas to fill the tank.

Love the contrasts and colours in the photo but I am with Ed's wife.... I will never understand the need to spend that kind of money on sheer indulgence. Kerrie
