    Just got my trip email for my 10 day on the intrepid. 30 dollar a day fuel surcharge. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Guess my next customers bill will be 300.00 more then. Charge me more I just pass it on to the next customer. Good to self employed.

    Nice im on an 8 day on the Vag on the 15th.
    I'm on the boat five trips a year - I'm biased. The boat is always immaculate (think yacht), Mike always finds fish, the crew is fantastic, and the cooks are great. It's not the biggest boat, but they almost come back with fish - and the crew is helpful, not harrassing. You will have a great time. I have never heard a complaint.

    So the surcharge adds up to $7200 in extra fuel $.

    How big are the tanks?
    $7200 will get you well over 1000 gallons.

    Was it originally planned as a sailing excursion?

    Almost coming back with a fish isnt a good plan.

    They figured out a way to pay for the fuel, great business plan. Sounds like the airlines.

    I'm no stranger to the Vag and agree with everything you say.

    Well it’s going to get better, Newsom,
    Is suing the oil company.
    He is currently working on shutting down 20% of the existing drilling in CA and wants to sue the oil industry? How about CA reduce the tax on gas and allow drilling to at least continue at existing levels.
