When being adrift isn't a bad thing...


A famous French shipbuilder and one of Monaco's ship companies joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: 58meter long and 38 meter wide. These are the first pictures of this project.
The yacht, an area of 3400 m2 with seating for 12 passengers and 20 crew.

Wally Hermès uses green energy and saves 20 to 30% in fuel and saves an additional 40 to 50% on electricity consumption with solar power. The panels are 900 square meters in size when fully open and produce 500 kW each day.

It boasts three decks, a 25 meter pool, a spa, helicopter pad, sauna, gym and massage room, music room, a dining room, a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, and a lounge area. bibi . The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator.

The suite of the owner is simple, yet spacious. Note the large bathroom complete with soaker-style spa tub in the background.

With an area of 200 square meters, the third deck is a private one. (This shot is off the master bedroom) The sea view is great and there is a private terrace 25 meters long.

The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a detracting roof making everything a sea of light on the clear days.

On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area.
The dining room opens onto the sea view.

Suites for the lucky guests.

World's longest!







This world’s longest motorcycle. This limo-style motorcycle is 31.5 feet long and was built in Russia by Oleg Rogov in 2005. It has about 14 seats and looks like you probably have to take the turns quite wide and with some coordinated leaning into the turns from your mass of passengers. We should build one for our membership...we could cut down on the cost of insurance if we all only owned one bike!

Bowl-a-thon Highlights!



Tony took into being a teacher...brought a tear to the eye of all those who watched.



It worked out well...just not for Tony. The boy got better while Tony eventually had an 'elbow issue'!


In the end...we had a lot of laughs and many of our younger bowlers went home with dangerous gifts...just like this Pocket Knife above! Good times! Thanks to all who gave and remember to "bowl like you mean it"!
More Pics on the right hand picture bar are coming soon...what a night!

John Takes The Wheel...


Scallop Days committee chairperson Mike Bartlett has handed the role over to John Soles in preparation of this summer’s event, Aug. 4 – 8.

Soles said he is a little nervous to take over, as chairperson and Mike Bartlett will remain on the committee as co-chair.

“I did logistical work last year for Relay for Life and I’m president of DC Riders, but this is quite a step up,” said Soles.

“The big hope right now is to take the platform we have for Scallop Days and not to make a lot of changes. We just want to build on what we’ve got and I think we’ve got a good solid foundation now.”

He said the focus would be to make this summer’s event bigger, especially the fireworks.

“We’d like the grand finale to have people walk away saying ‘you should have been in Digby’,” said Soles.

He expects the car show to have 250 to 300 entries, with perhaps participation from some antique car clubs as well.

The committee will meet Feb. 24 to get the ball rolling, said Soles.
