Saw this off of Antibes. Initially, I thought that that cool triskelion was the Vatican ensign, which made me wonder if the Pope had ever taken a vacation. And who, besides the Pope, could register a boat in the Holy See?

It turns out that the ensign belongs to the Isle of Man. The same questions hold for the Isle of Man as well. A little looking around indicates that the Isle of Man is a haven for "offshore banking," which is really a euphemism for money laundering. Also, the island has a number of real space travel companies. Weird mix.
