MY Octopus Arrives in Hamburg
It is mid summer and Superyachts are all on the move bringing their owners and guest on luxurious trips all over the world. It seems that the expedition yachts are being noticed and photographed by amazed onlookers on both sides of the Atlantic this week. Earlier this week the 115m Luna entered the 1000 island region on the Canadian/US boarder and in the same week the 126m Octopus passed Blankenese on her approach to Hamburg Germany. The below video was captured by an onlooker and shows Octopus at her best.
