Lest we forget, the overwhelming majority of megayacht captains and crew are highly trained, highly professional, and highly capable. With the onslaught of bad-news coming from the Med this summer, it’s become easy to catastrophize the state of crew.

P.P.S. The song is “Priseincolinensinainciusol” by the Italian singer Adriano Celentano. He released it in 1972, and sang the whole thing in gibberish that sounded like English words. He wanted to prove that Italians would love any song sang in English. The song hit number one on the Italian charts (as well as in France, Germany, and Belgium)
