Here’s a photo of perhaps my dream Yacht. If I ever got round to it, I’d wanna buy one of these. They’re insane. It’s the type of boat you sail round the world in. Me gusta.

This is a Laser Pico. Its a Dinghy, and ain’t it cute?! I remember, 4 years ago, at the age of 11, my first ever experience with sailing was in one of these. I didn’t enjoy it, and soon fell in, but with much determination, I succeeded, and now I am even aiming to qualify as an instructor, 4 years later. How time flies ;)

Apple’s share price has passed Google’s at $632-a-share. Share prices are basically meaningless since the number of shares outstanding differ (Apple has nearly 3x the number of shares out there, and as such, nearly 3x the valuation). But the numbers are interesting in historical context. They show what a ride Apple has been on (while Google has remained relatively static).

When Google went public in 2004 and their stock immediately popped over $100-a-share, Apple’s stock was trading around $15-a-share. When Google’s stock hit $500-a-share in November 2006, Apple’s stock was around $85-a-share. When Google shares peaked in late 2007 over $700-a-share and people were wondering if the stock was the next Berkshire Hathaway (up, up and away!), Apples stock was around $150-a-share.

With the price and the number of shares outstanding, Apple’s valuation is now approaching $600 billion. The next closest company in terms of valuation is Exxon. Their market cap is $400 billion. The nearest tech company is Microsoft. Their market cap is $265 billion.

In-sane.

This is the Jolie Brise. It is a 90 year old Cutter that hails from the port of Hamble, Southampton. In a few months, myself and 8 others will be sailing on this awesome boat to the south of France, in time for the Tall Ships race, and I can’t wait. :D
