Hart was forced to concede that he had also taken an overnight boat trip from Miami to Bimini with Rice and two other people on a yacht called Monkey Business. But the final blow came when a Washington Post reporter called campaign officials midweek with evidence of a recent liaison between Hart and a Washington woman.

...Washington power broker dreams of: a close association with the man who could be the next President. Although Broadhurst had limited political contacts outside Louisiana, he often traveled with Hart on forays through the South.

Yacht owners can still treat their floating pleasure palaces as second homes if they contain a head and a galley (toilet and kitchen, to landlubbers) and sleeping facilities. Skippers can deduct the interest on loans used to buy their craft or obtain a yacht-equity credit line to cover the purchase of, say, a Rolls-Royce.
