There is a very interesting article/interview with Mark Conroy, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises on the ABC News website: http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/story?id=7671941&page=1. In the article it is explained that the reason the fishing line which damaged the azipod did the damage it did was because the cutters which are part of the system had been modified

Windstar’s owner, Ambassador’s International, has been selling off some of its assets in order to stay afloat (pun intended). It is exiting its Majestic America cruise operations and has recently sold its marine group after selling its travel and events a month ago. But there are other assets which it needs to sell that it

I arrived in Seattle for the American Superyacht Forum (which is annually held in a “yachting” city or hopeful yachting city, such as Newport, Rhode Island, San Diego, California, etc.) Though I had been to the airport I had never actually visited Seattle, so I was looking at this trip not only from a yachtie
