I have not read this Magazine (for years) and can not comment on what this captain was up to, but most captains in this biz know they are working on a pleasure boat. A good yacht captain is there to make the owner happy, not worried. I know a captain who was running his Feadship back from St Tropez to Monaco on one engine, without telling the owner something was wrong. He didn´t want to spoil the experience for the owner and was dealing with it after he had left the yacht.
Some captains however, are talking of all the diffferent problems with the yacht, the crew and what is around like if they would like to tell the owner how good they are that can handle everything. This you can do in the merchant marine, but it is not a good idea on a yacht.
