SINGING LUXURY YACHT SLIPS IN

Shipping Reporter Scoop
 
The superyacht  My Way ,  named after   American crooner  Frank Sinatra ,  who  famously  lived  his  life  " my  way" , has   been  moored  in   the   Magnetic Island  marina   for  days   without  the mainland   media  noticing .  
  On its large transom  is a  Boston Whaler   tender,  visible ,  named  Blue  Eyes ,  part of   Sinatra's nickname , Ol' Blue Eyes .  A 2017  report  said the  Melbourne  based  owner of  the 35ft  catamaran, fitted out for  luxury cruises from  the  Gold  Coast   up  north , was  a  Sinatra  fan . Our  Shipping Reporter  said  Mickey  Mouse   strumming  a  banjo  and  yodelling   from the  bow of  a  yacht  as  big as  the Queen Mary   could sail into  Townsville  and the   press would   not  notice . On another  nautical subject,  still  floating about the  island  is a plastered  vehicle  promising   to   provide  the   answer   to  how   the   Titanic sank , the  mainland  press   also  not  interested..unless the Titanic was  a local    fishing smack   and  its  skipper  an  uppity  koala .
