I could see the problem from the very start. This complicated trawler yacht with all her engines and systems required more attention than I could possibly dedicate on nights and weekends. She needed a full-time captain and engineer to keep her Bristol and ready at a moment\u2019s notice to cast off and make for remote destinations. <\/p>\n

So, I ran the numbers. A Captain with the skills and resourcefulness to manage a yacht like Indiscretion wouldn\u2019t come cheap. The minimum salary for a professional Captain runs $150,000 a year, plus travel and meals. It turns out I\u2019d also need an engineer for another $90,000 to $100,000 because the complex mechanical systems are beyond the skills of a mere crewman. On a larger yacht, the costs would even be higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then, there\u2019s travel. First-class flights to French Polynesia to meet your boat don\u2019t grow on trees. And to be honest, Indiscretion is a bit small to host a crew while we tool around these remote destinations. I\u2019d probably end up upgrading to a larger vessel to accommodate decent crew quarters. Now we\u2019re talking big bucks. Maybe millions.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I added the extra costs to my current boat budget, I grew concerned. Boats aren\u2019t precisely the best place to invest your money in the first place, but adding a crew to the annual tally sure didn\u2019t help matters. I dreaded the conversation I would need to have with my better half as I explained this financial decision. She once took away my eBay privileges for an entire year for buying too many rare first edition books. I can\u2019t imagine what she might say about this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with a professional crew, things don\u2019t always work out well. I\u2019m a fan of Kenny Chesney\u2019s No Shoes Radio station on SiriusXM. Kenny keeps his boat down in the Caribbean and routinely complains about being stuck at the dock because Boat Captain Ben couldn\u2019t get the generator running, or some such issue. If that stuff happens to Kenny Chesney, it could happen to me too. That would be super irritating.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then it hit me. My Eureka moment. What if I took the job as Captain? I\u2019d have to quit my day job, but after running the numbers six different ways, it would be cheaper and better for me to do it than pay someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s what I\u2019ve done. After more than thirty years of various finance and strategy roles, I have officially retired from traditional corporate life to become Indiscretion\u2019s full-time Captain. I can\u2019t believe how much money I\u2019m saving! I sure hope I can keep that generator running.<\/span><\/p>\n
