Just heard that bailiffs have immobilised Bernard Madoff's tub, moored at La Gallice, the next port round the Cap d'Antibes. The boat's propellers were chained up, which means that anybody trying to sail it away would make a considerable noise whilst ruining the hull, drive shaft etc. One small detail: had the bailiffs looked closely, they would have seen that there was little risk that the owners were likely to up anchors - the bow rails were equipped with those lethal looking spikes that are meant to deter birds from roosting on window ledges, a sure sign that the boat is essentially mothballed. The Bull (for that is the name, in big letters, over its arse - stern is too elegant a term) is quite a minnow, but cost a cool seven million. So what do the really big ones cost?
