I could just spit.
I was supposed to be on board the Pacific Islander out of Channel Islands Harbor tonight.
I helped my son in law arrange a charter trip as a promotional item for the investment firm he is a broker at more than a month ago.
Not only myself but 15 clients were looking forward to this trip for some time.
One hour before we were planning to leave our house to drive to the landing they called and cancelled the trip. Some of which had already left for the landing and were unreachable to inform them of the cancellation.
No attempt to try and get us another boat, no offer of a future discount, nothing but an offer to reschedule.
Now if it was the first time I had experienced this type of problem at this landing I might not comment on it but the last time i was scheduled to take a trip on one of their boats they switched boats at the last minute, I mean we were standing at the dock getting ready to board when the captain tells us we can get on the smaller boat or go home. We had already paid our fare, for crying out loud. Once on board we find out that there is not even room enough for all the people to sit down.
I'm sorry to say I can no longer recommend that anyone patronize Channel Islands Sportfishing. If you want to fish out of Channel Islands Harbor do your self a favor and deal with Capt. Hooks Sportfishing. They at least offered us a boat in the morning and a hotel accommodation for overnight and the cancelled trip was with another landing.
