Andrew, I have seen enough dumb fuck boat captains to last me a lifetime. I will not pay five cents to have one of them dictate anything to me, and in fact will be the first to remind these assholes who is paying the bill. The key is to get that through their heads and use the ones who understand that fact of life. Any idiot who says "we do not allow helium on our boat" and then quotes Brett Gilliam is off the stupidity scale and needs to be avoided. Anyone who uses Mitch Skaggs as an "advisor" is rubber room stupid. For these trips you need to run a Michael Kane operation - charter the whole boat and tell them how it will be, and to save the boat monkey bullshit for the other dock wizzards and diving savants at the local ginmill after your trip is over. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Georgitsis <andrewg@fi*.co*> To: Trey <trey@ne*.co*> Date: Friday, July 28, 2000 10:36 AM Subject: Re: Why We Still Have A Big Problem In Tec Diving >Why would you pay $5 grand for a week of goober fest on air.
