After a few years in Mexico, Beverly and Bob found themselves in San Diego, where Bob was now working as a captain and navigator on a commercial fishing vessel.
“One day, I got a call from a big yachting company,” says Beverly. “A friend of mine who worked there as their marina manager, she said, ‘Bev, we don’t have a weekend person. Can you come in on weekends?’”
This temporary job was the beginning of Beverly’s career as a boat agent. And in time, Bob stopped working on board boats and became a yacht broker. The couple settled on land — even though their work still involved getting out on the water from time to time.
“Someone could buy a boat from Bob, insure it from him, charter it, manage it with me and charter it out. And we were sort of like a package, and we were really quite successful,” says Beverly.
