Just FTR Tim, I was on that charter the other week where we turned back. I had no idea anyone was giving you grief for that. I want to say loud and clear that I support your decision, and I told the divers I had with me the same thing that morning. Quite frankly, before I left for the boat the night before I checked for messages because I half expected the trip to already have been canceled.
Of course it's always the Captain's call -- no doubt about it. While there may be a couple of Captains out there whose decisions sometimes appear to be influenced by ulterior motives (and that's because it seems maybe they go when sometimes they should've called it), I would never include you in that group.
No complaints here,
SLANG
