Original captain/owner did not forward the replacement captain’s contact info so we had a hard time connecting up. Good news is we caught a fish. Bad news- the women onboard had to use the head/toilet. Disgusting! The rotting cabinets throughout the galley and head made me wonder what the stringers underneath looked like. I almost quit drinking beer so I didn’t have to pee again, and THAT is saying something! Also- there are zero drink holders on deck so we ended up up-ending a few brews :... More
