This one is a little different: These people have the bucks to buy a big boat and add equipment. But they're spending $ like water on stuff they'll never recoup even 10 cents on the dollar.
I got as far as episode #4 and skimmed that as well. They've spent a fortune on a 'sailboat big enough for a family of 5-6 to live-aboard" and the parents don't know how to sail.
When asked, the kids say sailing is boring or don't like it.
I can't remember how many people I've met that thought, despite little or no experience, sailing with a family would be easy. Like going to Disney World.
