Non the less the optics were not good.Bob was also the name of the 52' Farr racing yacht owned by former BP CEO Tony Hayward. Made famous during the BP oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, when Mr. Hayward complained that he'd like to "get his life back," and was shortly afterward photographed out sailing around the Isle of Wight.
Couldn't blame him too much, I suppose - it's not like he was going to personally dive on the blowout and plug the leak.
Bob,
I thought of your username this last weekend when I heard a captain call the USCG offering to assist another vessel around McNeil Island. He identified his boat as the "vessel Bob".
