goodbye to retail
« on: June 15, 2007, 03:07:55 PM »
I have dropped off from being a regular on this site... and the web in general. Many of you know that I have been working the fishing department at Steveston Marine's Vancouver location for the past while.
 Well... it's time for me to leave retail for good. getting married in a few weeks and then... I am starting my opening season with my new charter business on the west coast. We will be operating out of Nootka Sound/ Gold River... Halibut and Salmon charters.
Watch for my advertising next year.... I'm already booked solid for July august this year.


So, thanx to all of you who I have had business with over the last while... if therre is any thing you need... get in touch before friday June 22.

Cheers and tite lines.... I may throw the odd report back this way from nootka... so watch for those.

I'll prolly be seeing how busy it is for next season and maybe i'll have to hire Capt Bonk as my deck hand hehehe

the charter name is not fully decided... the first few ideas were already registered so we are still coming up with new ones and checking the list. I'll be advertising on this site in the new year (2008) so if any of you are interested in booking you will be able to get in touch. This season is our trial run and my availlable slots are booked solid, something i did not expect but hopefully a sign of good things to come.

thanx for the supportive comments... much appreciated.
cheers
Thomas
