Its stories like this that make me happy we own a crewed boat. Our first was a bare boat and it got pretty beat up in its first two years. She was lost in Irma and we decided a crewed boat would be run by competent folks and be better looked after. We are in our 4th year. Best decision we ever made (regarding boating).
I can see the advantages for sure, but I assume that means you can't just take the boat yourself and give the crew a vacation?
I guess I need to be captain :-)
