Theyβre barnacles all they ever want to talk about are their other yachts or the months long βsailing expeditionsβ
What a cool way to experience a culture where did you stay? Oh the boat? Stayed on the boat, meet a lot of locals on your boat you brought from home? Barnacles suck

How many barnacle covered cocaine packages does it cost to buy a house in Sydney? Asking for a friend.
