But is it fun?

If you are anywhere near sails like that when full the feeling of power is tangible, feels like a unstoppable force. Apart from that I find sailing of any kind fun, so yes.

Is she staying in Europe or going across the Pond?

It just seems to me that you would get the sailing experience in she same way that a passenger in a 747 would get the flying experience.

Stunning to see her mast head light above everything else in Falmouth on the water.

Not sure at all of her plans, but I doubt it will involve the Med.

My brother was one of the officers on board before she went for refit. I assume she'll carry on as she was doing before, Med season and Carribbean season along with trips up to Fort Lauderdale & NY where the owner has homes.

It's flipping huge, can see it from my house (along with from most of Falmouth and Penryn), great shots though.
