It was kind of sad back in May to watch our owners wrestle with the decision on whether to use their boats or not, should they go north, should they just leave the boat in Florida, etc. They were all pretty discouraged watching what was happening in their business and what was happening to their personal investments. I guess the last straw was watching the US Congress and realizing that the inmates had taken over the asylum and embarked on a spending spree unprecedented in the history of our country. The boats left on their summer schedule with no energy or enthusiasm in the story at all. Now, it’s July as I write this and the phone calls have been coming in for the past two weeks and I am happy to report our owners and their families are having a ball. The owners feel relaxed, refreshed, rejuvenated, and best of all, hopeful about their own lives and their own businesses which are the only things they can control. Many of our owners hoped they could cruise into retirement and never have to worry again about money, and now they find themselves working harder than they ever have in their lives. The good news is most admit their overheads had grown bloated over the past twenty years of prosperity and that their new business plan will be extremely profitable once the lights come back on in our economy. We talk about boating as if it was a non essential luxury when in fact, for those of us who are “water people”, it is nothing less than therapeutic. It’s our closest connection to God. Those precious hours and days on the water are the best money we can spend. What it does for our soul, our spirit, and our entire outlook on life is tough to put into words. Perhaps the thing I am enjoying the most in this financial hurricane, and what is giving me hope in my own business, is watching our owners reinventing themselves. They are all in high gear and organizing their troops and their resources for an energetic counterstrike. Not only will they be back running at full power soon, but they will be better than ever. I have always recognized that I have the good fortune to work for the best and brightest people in our country. They are the ones who create the jobs, built the roads and buildings, invent new technologies, and make this economy work. They pay the bulk of the taxes and they carry the bulk of the load. They and the generations of entrepreneurs before them are the ones who built our country and who keep it from going down the drain in spite of what our government does to hinder private enterprise. How proud we are at Hargrave to work for our owners. They are the only ones who can save our country.
