Somebody Has to be Kidding

[Deep C]

Tomorrows charter was booked for me by the guy who runs the ship store... Well, the people called to confirm the time... 10am? I just went through this yesterday... Then to make it worse they asked if I had a table in my cockpiyt for them to set their hors douvres on?
Sombody I guess forgot to tell me this was a cocktail sighseeing cruise . No they have no intention of fishing. They want to go for a three hour stroll down the ditch and look at the houses... Crikies! They have paddlewheelers and water taxies for that!
I just had to bust out the wire brush to get todays bottom paint off me and press my little shirt with the bars on the shoulder...
Now heres the part that really blows my mind. They agreed to full day fee as arranged by my friend... Jeezzzze! I run a low price operation in the scheme of things and many whine that its way too expensive for 9 hours of me killing myself and burning fuel and bait. These guys jump at the rate thinking its a bargain for three hours... Maybe I should get in the sighteeing business...

at least the fish can breath easy now. will you be bringing a mate on this tour. you remember what happen to The MINNOW on gilligans island. Wasn't that a 3 hour tour. If the weather starts getting rough you know what to do...

[tolmaz]

I will betcha they have one of these< dont forget tape to hold down the table cloth!

[Deep C]

Yeah ... My tiny ship will be tossed...

Tough to find anything deserted on the ICW down here...


Aw screw it... I'm gonna drag stuff from the tower. They'll never know!

Deep, are you serious? Your Albe is not a pleasure cruiser. It is a fish killin machine. You should ask them if they mind if you troll while they eat their hor'ds and sip their wine. Tell them that you will get them some fresh sushi. But hey money is money right? good luck

[snakeeyes]

i can hear it now, hey what a pretty kite.

[Deep C]

Does anybody know whether you serve from the left or the right? Do you hold the wine cork while they sniff it or do they? Then what the towel over the forearm thing all about? So much to learn and so little time!

[Stripersniper]

Surfergirl should be able to help with this one. She is a chef right?

[Stripersniper]

Deep you should have your mate serve them so he doesn't miss out on a day of abuse

[sea scape]

You always serve from the left... but they are having snack'um's so Deep probably will not have to worry about all that fu fu shit...

You don't let them "smell" the cork you poor a small amount in a wine glass and let them swish it around and act like big shots They usuall love the wine but then again you can get some real winners...
