One of the greatest pleasures that a man can have is owning
his own boat. It goes back to the days of adventure on the
high seas when a man was absolute monarch of his realm as
a captain of his ship.
Today there are very few places that the average man can
be master and commander of his own destiny. But owning a boat
is not without risk or expense. At one time cannons and carronades
protected the owner and captain from loss today it is boat
insurance that protects a man from loss.
It might seem like a small thing but boat insurance is essential
to protecting an asset that you might have worked your entire
life to own.
The greatest joy in boating is that you are responsible for
your own fate. That means responsible and in some sense autonomous
from the rest of the world. What boat owner hasn't dreamed
of sailing to the Sea of Cortez?
All alone with just the deep blue quiet all around you and
the vault of stars above to light your way; what could be
better? Listening to the plaintive whale song off the coast
of Hawaii while your family sits in happy companionship, that
is the way to spend your leisure.
But you need to have the assets to enjoy that leisure. Also
even in the most peaceful of times boating entails some risk
that is why boating insurance is an absolute necessity.
Owning a boat is the goal of many retirees. Owning and operating
a boat correctly requires the skill, desire, and time to care
for her correctly. It also requires the wherewithal, assets
and boat insurance to protect what you have. Your retirement
is far too precious to risk.
It makes no sense to gain your heart's desire and then to
lose it in a storm or to bad navigation. Even if you survive
without harm losing your boat can be devastating so protect
what you have. And if you have the right vessel and the desire
why not have a nice shiny brass carronade to salute the sunsets?
