Default Finding reasons to delay

I met a guy with a really nice 36' sailboat who had outfitted it for
extended cruising but had gotten to the bahamas and spent two months
waiting for parts for his hot water heater and fridge. Of course, it
is now hurricane season meaning he has wasted this year.
I can understand wanting some comforts but this was absurd. He was
also unhappy about how his teak trim looked and was wanting to get
someone to varnish it before he left. I think he liked the idea of
going more than the actual going.
