I'm a new liveaboard who travels frequently for work. When I'm gone it's for several weeks at a time. Lucky for me I've got the world's greatest Port Captain, who is also my primary boat maintenance guy. His advice is invaluable. His integrity? It's topnotch. If I could I'd chain him to my boat and never let him leave.
Update: I'm talking about my personal port captain here (not boat captain) - he takes care of the boat in my absence, and much more. Maybe "caretaker" is a more common term?
No government employees involved.
Is there a "standard" end of year bonus or tip for these wonderful folk? What do those of you in a similar situation do?
I know it's up to me to decide, but it would be helpful to hear how others show their appreciation.
Thanks!
