I find these statements rather interesting.

"As for Hank’s perspective, he’s a professional delivery skipper. Taking brand new lightly equipped boats into ****ty weather is a big part of that job, at least if you really want to make a living at it."

You would think as a professional his job would be to avoid taking "brand new lightly equipped boats into ****ty weather". As delivery captains isn't it our job to get the boat and crew there safely with little or no damage by avoiding take those kinds, or any kind for that matter, of boats out into ****ty weather if it can be avoided?

"Some have suggested he should have tried to persuade Gunther and Doris to hop down the coast to the Bahamas instead, but in doing that he would effectively be talking them out of hiring him"

Again as a professional should he not have purposed the safest option to the owners whether or not it cost him a job? Because in this case not at least examining this option may have cost the owners their brand new boat.
