Ahoy Knights of the Skys !

Thats how I like to imagine my skyyacht.
What could be mistaken for jet engines on the sides are high-tech rum barrel coolers...

The attached picture requires parental guidance :)

As you can see from my balloon there is just no way Im taking this race too seriously :)

I apologize for being a bit risque!! I received this picture very recently and wanted to share it with our ballooning enthusiasts:)
