Big Fish Swimming To Silverstein Silver Shalis Life Raft?

“Looks like the whales are visiting our waters,” Florida friends tipped off Canada Free Press (CFP) last night. “It’s about billionaire Larry Silverstein’s mega yacht, the Silver Shalis, spotted cruising around in the Atlantic Ocean near Ft. Lauderdale, now trolling the Gulf and currently anchored near Sanibel, former Vice President Mike Pence’s 30-year-long favored vacation spot.

Pence has a house in Sanibel/Captiva and so does Florida Senator Rick Scott

“Pence has a house in Sanibel/Captiva and so does Florida Senator Rick Scott, and a few others.“ “A New York real estate billionaire’s sleek mega yacht, the Silver Shalis, was spotted cruising Fort Myers Beach and anchored off Sanibel Island over the holiday weekend. Built in 2010 by Delta Marine from a ship design by Langan Associates and interior by design house Jonathan Quinn Barnett, the 175-foot, 846-ton craft is owned by real estate tycoon Larry Silverstein. The vessel, which can sleep 12 guests in six cabins and has a crew of 14 housed in seven cabins, has an annual running cost between between $2 million and $4 million. (News Memory, Jan. 19, 2022) Amateur detectives don’t need binoculars to see that the 90-year-old, New York real estate billionaire owner of the blue-hulled Silver Shalis, is not in Sanibel for deep sea fishing or sight seeing.

“A yacht tracking website placed the Silver Shalis just off the Sanibel Causeway near the Sanibel Lighthouse on the east end of the island on Monday and early Tuesday. The vessel has been cruising the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic, visiting Fort Lauderdale at one port of call. (News Memory) “Sometimes, when not pressed into service, boats such as the Silver Shalis are rented out for charters. Such excursions cost from $200,000 to $400,000, or more, a week, according to yachtcharterfleet.com.

“Silverstein, 90, CEO of Silverstein Properties in New York, has a net worth of $3 billion, also according to superyachtfan.com. “Dara McQuillan, media contact for Silverstein Properties, confirmed the yacht was the CEO’s. “He is visiting the southwest coast of Florida, and loves it there,” she said.” “A lot has been written about Silverstein. “A 2017 article in the Baltimore Business Journal said his company bought the World Trade Center weeks before the 9/11 terrorist attacks destroyed the twin towers. The company rebuilt the complex that includes the Freedom Tower. “The company’s most recent acquisition was a lower Manhattan apartment tower. Silverstein Properties purchased at 116 John St., a converted office tower in the Financial District, for $248 million, according to a company statement. “And on Jan. 10, Silverstein Capital Partners — Silverstein Properties’ real estate lending platform — closed on a $2 billion fund committed by its two existing and three new global institutional investors.” None of the above, of course answers the puzzle of what attracted Silverstein to Sanibel now.

Could it be that Silverstein’s money will be used to restore relevance to desperate-to-get-back-into-office Mike Pence?

Former VP Mike Pence, who visited Sanibel over 30 years, including in 2018 and 2019, cancelled his planned 2020 trip there one week after the 2020 election. (Wick News, Jan. 9, 2021) Sanibel is also a vacation spot for RINO, Jr. U.S. senator for Florida and the state’s 45th governor from 2011 to 2019, Rick Scott and other RINOs. Could it be that Silverstein’s money will be used to restore relevance to desperate-to-get-back-into-office Mike Pence? Meanwhile, anyone with a telephoto lens-equipped camera with a little time on their hands could keep an eye on the comings and goings of visitors to the sleek Silver Shalis. Just asking.
