trip gone bad

Rubicon,

Trust me when I say I know a little bit about fishing out there. My buddy from law school mated on a boat to put himself through law school and he grew up fishing out of Ocean City. His dad owned the 35 foot boat that we always went out on and our diesel bill was around $200 each time we went out. Thankfully, his father paid for the maintenance and everything on the boat.

I don't think those guys should have received a refund either. If anything, they should look to their anxiety buddy for reimbursement, not the captain. In fact, the captain and mate should have been given a tip for getting back so fast.

For those that don't know, the mate on the boat doesn't get paid unless he receives a tip.

Regarding the White Marlin Open, there are some serious dollars in the tournament and people come from all over to fish it.
