Chuck,
Dave has been my trusted First Officer, bowman and crew boss for many
many years. I can talk to him about coming down to Atlantic City to race on
your boat, but, for starters, I think he'll need suite accommodations at the
Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa and $200 in casino chips for each race.
And don't forget about my finder's fee.
All the best,
Edd
