Isn't that the bad guy out of one of the James Bond films? He must be living in Canada now

The vessel if you can call it that was about 90ft, there is a wheel house of sorts hung under the main superstructure that looked to able to hold about 20 people. It was doing just over 35 knots. Notice the rib on the top of the wheelhouse.

I think that's the marine equivalent of the spider in the remake of the Wild Wild West... Bizarre.

Nice humpie shot, too.
