get me a green card or should I sneak in with a group of haitian refugees driving a green pickup truck across from Cuba?
Maybe you'll have to lower your sights or raise the salary cap doubletime - I'd listen to, or talk to you, for 20% of that figure but to take on that responsibility for the sheckles on offer after the last guy done a runner sounds mighty risky to me....
Whats the deal with the owners? Does the wife act like Phyllis Diller on a bad hair day or something?
Good captains don't run from 70ft Hatts unless theres a good rerason - C'mon fess up - whats the real deal?
You know if you can't find the guy you want theres no shame in developing someone below the benchline - who knows maybe the owners wil get someone gratefull for the opportunity who will reward them with loyalty, and stick around instead of doing a runner!.
Lots of people want to buy the right man - some people go to the trouble of training their own. Just throwing large amounts of $ boating problems don't always just make them magically dissapear, just ask Dennis Conner, after he ran into Benny Lexcens winged keel!
Most salts worth a rum ration wouldn't waste their time responding to that selection criteria - I know I wouldn't!
Good Luck
