Nightmare charter trip

[adrianandbeck]

im really surprized that you went back on baitrunner after the bagging you gave him & his crew , not only professionaly but also personally,SHAME on you dayoo
you really are a very bad punter!

You people who respond to DAY'S comments should consider the responsibility and liability that Skippers/Masters carry with regard to health and safety issues on board ship and when circumstances prevail it is not always and or entirely the operators fault in the decision making.
.

Dayoo comes fishing with me often in a much smaller boat. We fish harder,longer and further than you and he's with us the whole way....not 1 complaint, so i don't know were your pulling this sh@t from ....you did get 1 thing right he is a unit.

It seems everyone has a little bit to say about this matter of this charter trip. Frankly I don't know who the operator is. However as someone has already posted there obviously is two sides to the story. What i can say is that i understand both sides i am like everybody else a fisherman and have been a charter boat skipper out of SEQ for years,
first of all for the charter(dayoo) it sounds like you have had a bad trip on this charter boat therefore you are entitled to your right of opinion to tell people who it was and what happened without fear of leagal ramifications. And in actual fact you can name and shame(within reason) the charter vessel and skipper....this is not defamation at all it is a public web site and therefore your opinion is only your opinion(i know this as had similar issues prior and my girl' a solicitor).
Secondly dayoo just one for more bit of information did you indeed go to hospital shorlty after the charter? This is important because it gives rise to the seriousness of your condition therefore the decision by the skipper to return.
From a skippers point of view if the charter had asked to go to a certain location i do believe it is THEIR right to go where they please (within reason) it is afterall their loss if they don't take your advice and don't catch anything. However having said that it has to be agreed mutually first of all and is alway subject to change.
Also dayoo you should realise that if you were ill you are under the duty of care of the skipper as he is holding your life as well as 7 other lives in his hands. He has to look out for such things a legal liability for if something did happen to you whilst at sea he is held in some accounts responsible for knowing first of all your condition and still proceeding to sea where help is a long way to be found. As said before i am unaware of what illness you had and seriousness of it, but as a skipper i may have chosen to either A. tell you that due to your health i will only go so far from a place where help is available and B. Make the decision not not take you and in some accounts that may involve cancellation of the charter.

As for the return of money a mutually agreeded amount for time at sea should be agreed ie if you were only out half the time pay half of the full amount of the charter this is i think fair to both parties and i dont think any body would disagree.
At the end of the day guys you should really be thinking of a way to resolve the issue not inflame it i am sure it is not doing either party any good. guys life is to short to be doing this sort of thing we should be out fishing....
Any way I don't know if this at all would help i hope it does and hope that all can get back to the real issue fishing.

Here, here. Lets get on with it.
I dont know who is right or wrong as the only people who really know are the people directly involved. There are major incosistantcies on both sides, i hope both parties come to the table and get a resolution that they are both happy with.
