Not good.   

I found it interesting that the captain figured, that although the morning trip brought in over $1300 in fares, he cleared only $45 for himself. 
That's tough.

Sucks, I guess in a bad economy the first thing people cut back on is recreational activities.

I know I'm going a lot less than I used to. Sold the boat because of the expenses associated with it. Didn't go on any extended trips this year. I used to think nothing of heading down to fish off a pier when I had nothing to do but now I think twice about burning the gas.
