My dad is nearing retirement age, and being a sailor at heart he is increasingly looking towards the sea as the venue for playing out his golden years- buy a boat, pour yourself a vodka-seven, crank that bitch into the sunset and just cruise. I figure he'll cruise right into reef or fall asleep with the stove on and burn the thing down to the waterline, but fuck it- what are we working for anyway? And if folly on the high-seas doesn't get him his heart and liver have their tickets in hand, might as well go out with style.
I've personally never understood the whole boating mystique, they're just floating RVs in my eyes, but I came across this today and it has a certain appeal.
The Phoenix 1000 is a 65-meter (213') personal luxury submarine. The initial design was originally executed for a client and now awaits a buyer. As proposed, the submarine would constitute the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built, and arguably, one of the most significant personal transportation devices of the century.
A wee bit pricey at $78 million, and it can't be cheap to run but hear me out- Submarine Pirates. High adventure in the sub-aquatic stomps the shit out of a retirement home, at least it does in MY book. So what do you say?
Who wants to be part of my swarthy rag-tag pirate crew?

I tried to establish a "blogger" identity and it kept telling me "Dad", "My Old Man" etc were not available so I suspect a damn conspiracy, typical of De Mott's!
As for the retirement options, I would never run it aground or let it burn to the water line. I pay others to do that, collect the insurance and UPGRADE!, again typical devious brillian De Mott thinking. And a submarine, give me a break! Can you see a sunset from 100 feet down ? NO ! Can I get a tan while submerged, not hardly.
Work with me Kid or change your last name!
