Makes me think of people sailing south to Mexico, then having their boat shipped back up the coast later by container ship. Or of rich yacht owners who have crew sail their boat to exotic locations and flying in to spend time aboard, while doing no maintenance, no planning, no nothing.
@rek my father in law had a job like that once - worked as a carpenter on a boat with a crew taking it from Seattle to the Caribbean. I think the crew like fell apart around Baja and they all quit and left the boat.
