All in all an odd situation. I though all charter outfits had a free 24 hr hold. I assume that if they don't like my sailing resume they'll tell me I need a captain, or a captain for a day or no go. If no go I wouldn't expect any charge. Maybe the office manager or owner would be worth contacting?

I'm a sailor but when we went to the San Juan Islands I didn't want to mess with funky winds so we chartered our first power cat. If none of you have ever piloted one you'll be amazed at how fuel efficient, maneuverable and stable they are. Since I already know how to sail and the winds are usually very consistent in the Caribbean it really is great for sailing so I'll stick with that at least until we physically can't raise the sails as we age.
