Default Photos of the Gary Morse yacht Cracker Bay

Below are links to photos of the yacht Cracker Bay owned by Gary Morse the CEO and developer of The Villages and a link to pictures of his yacht based near Tampa. It has been said that it will be used heavily during the GOP convention in Tampa this August for GOP dignitaries.

Their good taste is infused throughout The Villages. We've benefited from their visionary planning and risk taking.

I agree! They took the risk and you have to keep your hand on the wheel to run such a successful business with attention to minute details. They deserve a fleet of yachts.

The villages and the Morse Family were not just about making money. They created a lifestyle that made us all happy. I have no problem with them owning a yacht. It would be nice however to be invided for visit on it. I can dream can't I.

So, what is the point of showing us that the Morses have a yacht? They also have a jet (maybe even more than one -- I don't know, don't care). From what I've heard, they have a beautiful home here, a very nice ranch in Montana (well, two, actually) and so on and so forth. They're rich. They've have the right to spend their money however they want, even if they are confused about which way the USA should be headed (it's a joke, folks!). So, again, is there a point?

I don't know why that is. Neither Bill nor Brillo are British. They are Buckeyes.

I don't think this is the real Morse's boat. It looks like a site that sells the tpye of boat that he owns.

Very misleading thread.
