You can grill on the yacht though, right?
Not that big. 33 footer.
Big enough. Boat grills just hang over the rails.
Baltic sea has no tide so we usually tie up to shore and go to land. No big market for ship mounted grills.

Has no tide? How is that possible?

 I'm on a yacht out in the Stockholm archipelago at the moment. No refugees or forest fires in sight. A huge lack of fresh water and a general prohibition on fires that means we can't use the grill are our main concerns.

What kind of yacht Hastur? I'm jealous, I've not sailed offshore for ages. Is the wind fair?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

It's a Maxi 999. This summer is insane. Never had so much sun and warmth before. 23°C in the water far out at sea. The wind is a bit on and off but the forecasts has been spot on so far so planning is easy.

Is this one of those cases where we would call it a boat?

I seem to remember this language discrepancy coming up once before.

Maxi 999 is a yacht. A yacht is just a luxury boat. Has little to do with size.

Pro tip: when hanging out with squids, be sure to mix up boat and ship all the time.

100% of people who know what the word yacht actually means call it a yacht and a boat.
