CAPN JACK;
I'm with you on the crew/cargo thing. Everybody wants a day on the water and most offer to purchase half the fuel, until I tell them the last time I filled up it was 8K. It's amazing how many strangers I meet that want a "boat ride" when they learn I live on a boat. I'm always polite when I explain that getting a 52' boat out for an afternoon isn't like tooling around in a nice car. It takes planning. And $, lots of $.
Yeah, not many ask anymore. On the other hand, when I invite a few close friends out, it's on me. But those are the ones that have been there through the bad times.
