Dream boat

I know this topic comes up with some degree of regularity on this sub, but for years I've been looking at this boat and dreaming of making a bellingham/San Juan island ferry run work.

I'm sure the logistics of keeping the boat crewed, fueled and regular maintenance wouldn't pencil out. I know there is somewhat of a demand for the service but probably not great enough for scheduled runs.

I do well for myself as a tugboat mate, but not $700,000+ purchase good. Not to mention I don't have the business acumen to really keep a company like that in the black.

I'm getting to the point in my career that I should be thinking about moving into a captain position. I just can't really stomach the thought of doing it at the company I currently work at.

So every few months when things at work get me down I'll go and check to see if this boat is still for sale. I take solace in the fact as long as it's still there my dreams of captaining my own boat for my own business are still a possibility.
