It was meaningful actually . . .

Serial poster Surfesq really was trying to help, but in his own inimitable way.

Even on a fairly large cruising sailboat, you are only going to have perhaps 6 people onboard. It is hard enough to find a compatible group of people let alone having to tell 5 of the passengers who are likely paying and working that "Oh, that one guy, he doesn't have to do anything unless we need him. In fact, he doesn't have a watch."

I wouldn't want to be that Captain.

The response was unpalatable, perhaps, but I would recommend the same or a tramp steamer if you can find one these days.
