I AM VERY GOOD WITH A GAFF SO I AM AN EXCELLENT TEACHER. I HAVE LOTS OF TRICKS LEARNED IN DIFFERENT PLACES, FROM DIFFERENT CAPTAINS, PLUS A FEW OF MY OWN CREATION. I KNOW WHAT A CLEAN BOAT IS AND HOW TO MAINTAIN IT MECHANICALLY. I’M A CLEAN-CUT, RESPONSIBLE INDIVIDUAL WHO’S GOOD WITH KIDS. I KNOW HOW TO FIND THE FISH, ONCE I’M DIALED IN ON THEM I UNDERSTAND HOW TO MAKE THEM BITE, AS WELL AS PUT THEM ON THE BOAT. INTELLIGENT INNOVATION AND THE ABILITY TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME IS WHAT I WILL BRING TO YOUR OPERATION. IF YOU RUN A QUALITY OPERATION AND GIVE ME THE TOOLS I NEED, NOT ONLY WILL YOU FIND WHAT YOU SEEK IN A CAPTAIN, WE WILL WIN.

Justin, from reading through these postings I see that you were hoping to make a decision Sept./Oct. 2007 still looking? I'm attaching my resume; you'll see I've had experience with all of the areas you need taken care of. I also sent you a private message yesterday, I'd really like to discuss this opportunity with you...and...blow boating is for those who think everything else is free too!

Thanks to those that have replied to date to this thread. I have met some (including Matt Splane – special thanks) but have had to delay in starting, primarily due to handover bureaucracy, particular to Cape Verde. TIA after all!!!!!

Anywho.. On top of this, I was involved in a major RTI in late 07, so have delayed the launch of resort until winter 08/09.

For those still interested, this gives us plenty of time for us to get together, agree terms and start looking for our boats. Intention will be to go for a Christmas opening, but as main Marlin run is from April (when seas calm down too), it will be a soft opening and a chance to test Kit, boats and crew.

Direct flights already from Boston/Brazil/Europe and Africa and we will probably go for a charter from Miami or fort Lauderdale depending on interest from USA

If you still think you are up for this post and your not afraid make a serious commitment, being an outgoing, entertaining and pioneering character, we have the fish a-waitin’ to be found.

Drop me a line on this thread or a private message in the first instance and I will drop you a note in reply.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards and good fishing..

Justin
