USAF pilot, saw you land on 22, a very large Luxury Yacht passed just under you on about a half mile final, did you see it ?

Yes I did!
I actually saw the large wake left behind and then looked straight down and caught the back of the ship (I was sitting on the right side of the a/c)...
Did you see the whole landing? It felt like we landing quite off balance with the right side touching down first...

Question too.... So we landed and the pilot put the flaps up, but to what looked like to be the T/O config. I figured he just forgot to put them all the way up, especially since flaps down on Taxi back usually means hijack, but I wasn't sure if maybe he had done it for a certain reason....

Cannot answer about the flaps but been watching wild landings all day due to winds, as I type this the winds are 280 degrees at 19 knots gusting to 31 knots And also due to long weather and ATC delays at LGA the 319 you came in on just departed back to DEN at 1940 lcl !

Haha, sounds like the winds during my first checkride, except I think we were gusting 24! I could tell it was pretty windy aloft... As far as delays go, we had a ground delay in Denver because of an ATC flow issue, but I noticed while we were flying, it looked like we had to fly around some strong t'storms in PA...
