Well we went out this weekend with the Captain John. We ended up back in Galveston after 15 hours. When the trip started the weather was a bit rough so the ride out was not the best. However we got through the rain and once we hit our first stop at around 80 miles out for the b-liners there was not a cloud in the sky we had passed the front and you could not ask for a better day of fishing. Everyone loaded the boat with tons of vermillan snapper, some kings, grouper, and other various species. It was a very productive stop. After that we headed on to boom vang floater for the night time tuna fishing.
The boat had stopped when we were about one and a half hours from the floaters, no anouncement was made why so we asked a deck and what is going on. They replied that someone on the ship was very sea sick and they were checking him out to see how serious it was. All of a sudden without any announcement from the crew or capt we were headed back to shore. So the word was that some one was realy sick and they had to take them back. If someone is that sick shouldn't the care flight or coast gaurd come get them instead of making them endour a 7 hour ride back. some people on the boat were asleep and awoke to find them selves looking at the galveston skyline,since there was never a formal announcement of what had happened untill we reached the jetty.
know if someone was so sick that 40 people had there trip terminated because of it, why was there no ambulance waiting for him when we got back. He just got up loaded his stuff in his car and drove off. The mood of all the other patrons was very sore on the way in and at the dock. Turns out because of one sea sick person we all lost out on our fishing trip. I don't want to sound selfish because if some ones life is in jepordy by all means fishing is not worth it. However they need to come up with a better system of dealing with something like this in the futur. I have enjoyed many past trips with the capt john and the crew was great on this trip. He did refund some of our money since this happened. I still don't know what to think about it all.

They need to get some phenegrin (sp?) suppositories to carry on board. That way, they can approach the aflicted party and say "Stick this up ...."
