captain Jorge and the first mate were the best.  they took great care of our party.  they made sure the wives were happy and had all they needed.  they explained every aspect of fishing and methods they were using.  although we didn’t catch any tuna, the captain took extra time to get near some dolphins so the day wasn’t a complete wash.
