Yes. Then I would stock the island with lovely ladies, much like one would stock a fish pond on their property.

Looks like a perfect under the radar 007 getaway. A little warmer location may be preferable though.

Yes, but somewhere warm. Clothes would then be prohibited.

That'd be nice for about six weeks a year in the summer but that's about it.

With satellite internet, a boat, and women, I could spend way more time than that there.

DWC island. We can all pitch in for it. It's only 16 Million.

I'm only in if it's just for me and the wives. No offense, but hanging out with a bunch of watch nerds in swim trunks isn't my cuppa.

I'm in. Put it under a LLC so when first taxes come due, we have a path to get back where we started

I would. And I'd live on it year round and ban anyone who disagrees with me. I'd also ban ugly people.

If i could afford an island, I'd buy Yukon a new "Hot chick" pic to post first. That one, above, is damn near older than that egg-eating French lady that just croaked. :lol:

Quit making fun of my wife. She doesn't know I took that picture, and besides it's my favorite.
