The more I think about it the more it becomes obvious to me that this old saying holds true in this case ... The Master's Eye makes the Horse fat.
Lessons learned here for the time I need the delivery captain are:
- make sure myself that the darn new-to-me boat floats and motors and steers w/o any issues before the delivery commences,
- make sure that the contract stipulates delivery captain qualifications, insurance/bonding status, insurance situation, and captain responsibility in "what if" situations,
- make sure that the transit path is checked and defined, and included as an exhibit in the contract,
- make sure to be a part of the voyage, in person and in mind, and oversee the execution of the defined plan ... the master's eye makes the horse fat.
