As a vice president of distribution and logistics, Bradley (Brad) Berfield oversees operations of a distribution network for a diverse range of quality merchandise. With more than two decades of experience in the industry, Brad Berfield relaxes in his leisure time by going boating.
Studies have shown the health benefits, physically and psychologically, from spending time boating. Boat owners typically report themselves to be happier. They enjoy the peace of boating and the opportunity to be in the fresh air, listening to the sounds of nature. They also tend to respond better to stressful situations in the workplace because of taking that time to relax.
In addition to the connection with nature that boating brings, it also provides the opportunity to build relationships with family and friends. Those who take the time away from modern technology to spend it aboard a boat deepen relationships and result in good memories.
Aside from these psychological boosts, boaters also find physical benefit from exposure to the sun. Spending time in the sun, properly protected by sunscreen, allows the skin to take in Vitamin D, which has dropped to insufficient levels in a good portion of the populace.
