No worries. Here is another one, which has been compiled from an ongoing WhatsApp chat amongst a couple hundred captains and agents....

Also a good suggestion. And for the OP- these last couple of posts are from large yacht captains.
If this is something you're passionate about, go for it. I would happily hire crew member who is medically trained. That being said, you'll need...
Fish- What boat was this? I thought I held the record for the largest boat to transit at 145 ft. I took RENA through there in 2012. [ATTACH]
Here is a recent example of a very experienced professional captain who went missing while solo sailing. He has not been found....

Great Post, OB
My personal opinion is that the large yacht sector will bounce back pretty quickly. Some boats may change hands, but I think yachts will be...
I dunno- seems like we (as in most of the world) are taking it pretty seriously. I've been on weekly conference (Zoom) calls with maritime...
As usual, I am a much more optimistic person than you are! Welcome back, Ed.
Data and modeling. The smartest people on the planet are working on this.
