Tony Hayward goes yachting in JP Morgan regatta

He finally got his life back with those he loves. Oh yeah, his son was there with the mega-yacht and the bankers as well. Ahhh, Big Oil and bankers all together in one flashy regatta. How's the Gulf Coast doing today?

The BP boss at the centre of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill came under further pressure last night after he was spotted relaxing at a yachting event on the Isle of Wight.
Tony Hayward, 53, BP’s £1million-a-year chief executive, was enjoying the clear blue waters of the Solent, 4,500 miles away from the disaster. His appearance came as it was reported he had been removed from day-to-day control of the crisis.

After he was accused of failing to take responsibility and ignoring dangers when BP was drilling in the Gulf, Mr Hayward watched a 52ft yacht named Bob, which he co-owns, take part in the JP Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race yesterday. The yacht - made 10 years ago and worth around £470,000 - came fourth in its class behind triple Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie.
What a toff. There's King Tony who is sitting on his butt while the crew races his elite yacht. Is he too lazy to even bother with participating or is that the the little people do for their superiors? Maybe that's what one does with a $750,000 custom built racing yacht when you're hobnobbing with other elite JP Morgan clients.

We're trying to figure out what "Bob" stands for. Jojo is convinced it's for "Big Oil Blunder" though we haven't confirmed it yet.
