What the **** happened on that day 10 years ago?

Eric's invitation letter is not about a yacht race, but a carnival party on his newly bought luxury yacht Columbus Yachts. It is said that the attendees are all the young men who like to wander in the upper class on the current stage.

The main content of the party is the public auction of several oil paintings on the yacht, which are said to be the works of famous masters. The invited people need to drive their own yachts to participate, and then they will be allowed to board the ship after showing the invitation letter.

Lin Zidan held the invitation letter sent by Eric. It was the black and gold color of abstinence that he used to look a bit mysterious and solemn.

"Hello? What are you thinking?" Emma's little hand swayed in front of his eyes. From the moment he entered the door, he saw Lin Zidan was a little nervous, thinking it was just an invitation letter?

And she knew at a glance that it was the style of the painter upstairs. She had seen this person before, except that he sometimes felt a little senseless,

Her impression of Eric is not bad.

"Emma, ​​can you drive a yacht?" Lin Zidan retracted his messy thoughts, raised his head and asked Emma gently.

Recently, apart from cooking occasionally by himself, Lin Zidan will take Emma to eat the delicacies scattered in every corner of Manhattan, mostly Michelin restaurants, except until 2013. Well-reviewed Perse,

Lin Zidan also took Emma to the four-star ElevenMadisonPark restaurant, as well as the restaurant most famous for cooking seafood.

LeBernardin restaurant.

The one I went to today is called Daniel Restaurant, which has the same English name as Lin Zidan. The founder of this three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Daniel Bruder, is New York's leading chef.

Diners on New York's food-review website commented on his dishes: "He made me taste heaven." And it's the restaurant's "secret weapon," deep-sea red snapper, that makes them flock.

"Yacht? I have a boating license, but I don't drive much, what's the matter? You want me to drive a yacht?" Emma sat next to Lin Zidan, reached out and hugged his waist and asked with a smile.

"If you want to drive, just go someday. Didn't I tell you last time that I bought two and put them in the vacation house in the Bronx?" Lin Zidan said, raising his hand and gently scratching Emma's back. Upturned little nose.

Lin Zidan had always been accompanied by Danny or Kyle when he practiced sailing the yacht. Because of his scruples, he never dared to let Emma board the boat, so now Lin Zidan suddenly mentioned it, which made Emma a little surprised.

"Okay, you can take me with you when you have time~" Emma replied casually, while the man looked drowsy in Lin Zidan's arms.

----------------------

One weekend afternoon in mid-July, Lin Zidan took Emma to see the yacht at his vacation home in the Bronx.

The two I bought before, plus Mike's old yacht, which I bought later, were docked at the pier of his vacation house in turn.

Not long ago, Danny specially found someone to maintain it.

In fact, there is a yacht in the United States that does not mean anything. This is probably the same thing in the United States as a car in China. The poor must not be able to buy it, but those who can afford it are not necessarily rich.

Because the boat's license is easier to test than the driver's license, and people here can buy a yacht as easily as buying a car.

There is no precise answer to how many private yachts and boats there are in the United States, just like how many cars there are in the United States. Excluding the vast central water-free areas, about 45% of households own them.

Except for those luxury yachts that billionaires spend tens of millions of dollars to buy or customize, the price of water leisure boats for ordinary people also varies widely.

From a few hundred dollar paddle boat to a few thousand dollar motorboat, from a tens of thousands dollar sailboat to a multi-million dollar double deck yacht.

As we all know, Manhattan was originally an island surrounded by the East, Harlem and Hudson rivers.

Manhattan is bordered by New Jersey to the west, the Bronx to the northeast, and Brooklyn and Queens to the east and south. Manhattan is mainly connected to these places by bridges and tunnels.

Since the inner city of Manhattan is surrounded by highways, it is only convenient for yachts to be parked in residential areas that live in other districts and face the sea, which is why Lin Zidan puts his vacation home in the East Bronx.

The house he bought is in Throgsneck, a single-family villa with a large yard, but the yard has more than 5,000 feet of land. The front yard can park two off-road vehicles and three yachts at the same time.

There is a plank road leading directly to the sea in the backyard. If the yacht docks directly at their own small pier after going to sea.

"It's so beautiful here!" Emma ran to the end of the plank road wearing flat shoes, where the view is the most open, and you can see the Maritime College of the State University of New York in the direction on the left.

In front of them is the town of White Rock across the bridge from them, and on the right is the golf course of Trump's thief's house and the White Rock Bridge connecting the two districts of Queens and the Bronx.

Lin Zidan stood behind Emma and looked at the blue sea and blue sky in front of him. The sea breeze was blowing the hair of the two of them. The evening glow reflected on the sea. The scorching heat of summer was instantly blown away by the cool sea breeze.

Emma chose the latest yacht, which is actually not very expensive. The brand-new Lin Zidan has only bought more than 300,000 US dollars. It can be paid in installments, which is about less than 2,000 US dollars a month.

Lin Zidan's boat is not for the wind, so it is not luxurious, and the operation is very simple. Only the huge steering wheel in the cockpit needs to be grasped. Speed, communication, and signals are all controlled by a few buttons, which is easier than playing games. .

In the United States, if you have a place to dock, it is much more convenient to drive a yacht than to drive a car. Burning diesel fuel is more fuel-efficient than driving a car! A tank of fuel can run for two to three months.

After Emma followed Lin Zideng onto the boat, without waiting for his introduction, she operated the yacht very skillfully and slowly left the pier.

In the evening of summer, in the afterglow of the sunset, the two of them set sail on the vast sea with their yacht, leaving all their troubles behind, riding the wind and waves, and enjoying the happiness and beauty of this moment away from the mundane world!

---------------------------------------

The day that Lin Zidan was looking forward to and feared finally came as promised. Lin Zidan surveyed the sea area where Eric was going to hold a party three days in advance in order to be fully prepared.

As a fashionable way of life, yacht party not only gives people enough freshness, but also gives people a high-end and mysterious imagination space.

How many business celebrities and professional elites are proud to be able to participate in various yacht parties, and how many "diaosi" dream of a dream yacht trip.

The average yacht outing in New York is only cruising around the bays near Manhattan, along the East River to the Hudson River, enjoying the Seventeen Piers, Lower Manhattan, Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, Governors Island and the Statue of Liberty along the way. It's like waiting for the scenery, but you can't go to the open sea.

Eric's million-dollar luxury yacht is parked at the southern end of New Rochelle, adjacent to Port Washington on Long Island, to the east is the maritime junction of New York and Connecticut, and to the west is Orchard Beach and the Bronx.

All the partygoers have to arrive at the designated location on their own yacht before 6:30 pm, present an invitation letter to board Eric's windy luxury yacht, and start a dream yacht trip with anticipation.

It was the first time for Lin Zidan to participate in such a party. He also specifically confirmed with Eric whether he needed to bring a female companion. The answer was of course No, so he attended with Louis, and his yacht was directly driven back by Danny, leaving only Kai Er followed him into the boat.

"It looks very lively tonight!" Louis smiled at Lin Zidan as soon as he got on the boat, pointing to the crowd who had already danced wildly on the deck to the music.
