WMO Blues

[Capt. Terry]

Ok, owner of the boat just informed me Wednesday morning that everyone has changed their mind about fishing the WMO. I have made calls trying to hustle up another crew of sponsors. The original crew said that money was tight (I guess all of the sudden). I am in a situation now where I can't fish the WMO on this boat. I have fished with this boat for a few years now very succesfully with a blue and 3 whites in the WMO two years ago. Lots of nice tunas and mahi. Ok, so the crew can't come up with the money. Against my best common sense, and probably just because I am commited to fishing it next week already, I suggested to the owner of the boat that maybe they just enter the boat and one or two calcuttas to keep the cost low. They haven't jumped on that idea to date, so I consider it dead at this point. Two questions, (1) is anyone else going through this dilema, and (2) does anyone at this point need a good mate or a second captain for the WMO. I am in a pinch here and deffinitely do not want to sit on the side lines for this one. Any help here will be greatly appreciated. PM me or reply
