Apropos of Nothing

Apropos of nothing: here's the AIS screen snapshots of the position indicators belonging to a large number of vessels moored or moving around St Barths (Saint Barthélemy, officially the Collectivité territoriale de Saint-Barthélemy, also known as St. Barts and St. Barths or St. Barth an overseas collectivity of France in the Caribbean), today Dec 31st 2025. St Barths is really just a tiny spec on the map.

The thing is that many of the vessels (luxury private yachts) that have come together here belong to some of the very richest people in the world. I'm sure you have a rough idea who I might mean ... funnily enough it's not too far away from another island that once belonged to a certain Mr J Epstein. 

Anyway Happy New Year everyone! Don't expect much of a difference in 2026 though.
