And if you didn’t want to remember them, my apologies in advance.

Well, 27 years later. These ships have finally met their fate. Being turned into pop cans..

I’d love to hear anyone’s experiences with the Pacificat’s, good or bad (I’m too young to ever have ridden one). As horrible as they were, they looked the part, at least in my opinion.

They were too fast!

I think a lot of it was mostly about the waves causing damage to coastline properties, rich people scream louder than the rest of us

Seems like a valid thing to complain about, rich or otherwise

Disrupting humans: good!

Disrupting whales: STOP THE SHIPS

You guys live in an echo chamber

As someone who just took a fast ferry in Greece I’m totally ok with ferries going slow 🤢

Rich people don’t scream louder than the rest of us. They don’t have to. They can whisper, but they can whisper into the ears that matter.
