According to Commodore Vanderbilt, owning a yacht was like, "Standing
fully-clothed under a cold shower, tearing up 100-dollar bills."
Of course, he said that back when 100-dollar bills were still worth
$100, IYKWIM.
The more contemporary description of boats is, "a hole in the water that
you pour money into."

The caption is just a reference to end of summer; pulled out of the
water; no more lazy sails around the lake with Great Gatsby-esque folk
standing about on deck sipping champagne. My view of yacht ownership
may be more romantic than realistic. :-)
Thanks, Rick, Frank, David, and anyone else who had a look!

Not sure I understand the caption, but I certainly like the photo! The
interaction of the hull shapes is really appealing, and the black-shrouded hull
in the right foreground sets them off nicely.
Cheers,
Rick
