    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    WARNING TO ALL CHARTER SKIPPERS..
    This photo is of a guy called Glen Curtis..
    He booked my boat the Vanishing Point-2 up several times, had good Cod trip, Roker, and fantastic Smoothound trip on the 13th July 2016, his last trip with me, from memory they boated over 65 big hounds really good day..

    He then booked with Nicola a trip on October 23rd Sunday...!! before leaving the boat in July.

    Nicola called him 3 weeks before the trip, just making sure everything was alright for the forthcoming trip..?
    yes he said looking forward to it...

    Then, having not heard from him by 6.45 pm Saturday 22nd (the evening before his trip) I tried to contact him and the phone just went to voicemail, so I left a message saying to be on the boat for 0700 hrs in the morning, as me and Nicola were going out for the evening.

    But on returning home still no answer from Glen Curtis so got the distinct feeling he was not going to show up.

    I left more text messages asking him to at least text me to say he was not coming so at least me and Nicky didn't have to get up at silly o'clock in the morning to wait for a charter party that was never going to turn up..!!!

    But needless to say we got no call or message, so we had to professional and turn up anyway..!! but as predicted Glen Curtis and his party did not show up, so we just had to go back home.

    The really annoying thing is..., we had no more weekend dates left in our diary, and we could... if we had know, sold that Sunday 23rd October trip 10 times over, in fact the guys who had the next day booked with us, Monday 24th October were desperate for a weekend date as they flew in from the Arab Emirates for their trip, and was choked that they could have had the day before..... Sunday 23rd was flat calm, Monday 24th was blowing 24 mph dead Easterly and was fairly rough.....

    So if a guy call..... GLEN CURTIS rings you up to make a booking on your boat be prepared to be let down, the man has no morals, and is in my opinion, lower that a snakes belly.....

    Just to be clear Glen Curtis on this point........ YOU ARE BARRED FROM OUR BOAT...!!!!
