Financier Robert Mercer's superyacht 'Sea Owl' slips back into Seattle after two years

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The superyacht "Sea Owl" slipped back into Puget Sound waters and came through the government locks in Ballard during the noon hour on Friday

It moored in the locked facility at Emerald Landing on Lake Union, where boats quickly cruised by for a look.

The Sea Owl has been in Seattle before — when it drew many gawkers by land and sea during a May 22, 2017 stop.

This 203-foot vessel is worth between $75 million and $90 million and has traveled the world since it was built six years ago.

It was in San Diego before it came here, where it will be provisioned and cleaned before it heads to Alaska to it will meet up with its owner, financier Robert Mercer, who is co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies. Word is that after Alaska, it will head to British Columbia for a stay.

1. I cannot say here (or anywhere) what I picture as an ideal scenario with that monstrosity and its

owner.

5. Are they out at sea because they feel unwelcome among us, the unwashed?

I hope the people of Seattle, Alaska, and British Columbia know how to give the Mercers the welcome they deserve.
