where to complain

[CalebD]

Nice vocabulary Alex. I bet that the dreaded Abaco Charters are trembling in their proverbial boots right now. I will bet that you are even more eloquent with your tongue lashings in your native Portugese language. Too bad they would not understand that! Merde du bois!
I for one will never do a charter with such an imperious company as this outfit: Home
They do have some smaller boats I might be able to afford though and I never wanted to rent a boat with a training hull (or hulls) in the first place.
I wonder if the OP ever did make it home from his charter as he promised to post all the atrocities purpetrated against him by this immoral organization back in April of 2007. He has not posted a single thing here since so I can only surmise that because of their deceptive business practices they allowed him to keep his charter out longer then originally planned and he found a hurricane due to their mistake. Perhaps it is time to refer this case to the famous sea lawyers at the firm of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe.
There is nothing more cynical then a threat not kept in the eyes of the law.
I am also gonna' guess that you are staying at a Holiday Inn somewhere and are bored out of your skull (Alex that is). The rest of us are just bored on this board and waiting for better weather.

Guns? Absence of religion? Lack of self-esteem? Poor parenting? The entertainment industry? Who's to blame for Abaco Charter's muddleheaded credos? Numerous professionals (and not-so-professionals) have speculated and mulled, publicly and privately, over what has caused Abaco Charter to don the mantel of neocolonialism and separate people from their roots and cut their bonds to their natural communities. Note that some of the facts I plan to use in this letter were provided to me by a highly educated person who managed to escape Abaco Charter's grumpy indoctrination and is consequently believable.

Abaco Charter's values symbolize lawlessness, violence, and misguided rebellion—extreme liberty for a few, even if the rest of us lose more than a little freedom. Because Abaco Charter wasn't listening when I said this before, I'm forced to repeat myself: Abaco Charter extricates itself from difficulty by intrigue, by chicanery, by dissimulation, by trimming, by an untruth, by an injustice. I can't make heads or tails of Abaco Charter's causeries. I mean, does it want to undermine the intellectual purpose of higher education or doesn't it? Abaco Charter wants us to believe that every featherless biped, regardless of intelligence, personal achievement, moral character, sense of responsibility, or sanity, should be given the power to create an atmosphere of mistrust in which speculations and rumors gain the appearance of viability and compete openly with more carefully considered theories. How stupid does it think we are? People often ask me that question. It's a difficult question to answer, however, because the querist generally wants a simple, concise answer. He doesn't want to hear a long, drawn-out explanation about how if it weren't for goofy blackguards, Abaco Charter would have no friends.

While self-justification may motivate the most purblind pip-squeaks you'll ever see, the same stances also work well for jealous degenerates. For your information, one can consecrate one's life to the service of a noble idea or a glorious ideology. Abaco Charter, however, is more likely to deny both our individual and collective responsibility to live in harmony with each other and the world. All that we have achieved may now be lost, if not in the bright flames of deconstructionism, then in the dense smoke of the self-righteous ebullitions promoted by blinkered, perverted pinheads. I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that Abaco Charter's premise (that moral relativism is a noble goal) is its morality disguised as pretended neutrality. Abaco Charter uses this disguised morality to support its reports, thereby making its argument self-refuting.

Abaco Charter labels everything that conflicts with its established way of thinking as pestilential propaganda, right? Right. Ever since Abaco Charter decided to violate strongly held principles regarding deferral of current satisfaction for long-term gains, its consistent, unvarying line has been that its blessing is the equivalent of a papal imprimatur. Yes, I realize that I like Abaco Charter's effusions about as much as I like rheumatism, but for the sake of brevity I've had to express myself in simplified terms. It is imperative that all of us in this community examine Abaco Charter's worldview from the perspective of its axiology (values) and epistemology (ways of knowing). This cannot occur unless there is a true spirit of respect and an appreciation of differences.

So who's crazy? I, or all the treasonous, vile devotees of conspiracy theories who aver that children should belong to the state? Before you answer, let me point out that I like to speak of Abaco Charter as "gutless". That's a reasonable term to use, I profess, but let's now try to understand it a little better. For starters, the more pressing news is that it needs to internalize the external truth that its confidants always show a streak of cruelty that enables them to find pleasure in their destructiveness. (The merits of its adages won't be discussed here because they lack merit.) So far, the response from Abaco Charter's camp has been tardy and equivocal. Ergo, Abaco Charter talks a lot about factionalism and how wonderful it is. However, it's never actually defined what it means. How can it argue for something it's never defined? This is not a question that we should run away from. Rather, it is something that needs to be addressed quickly and directly because it has been trying hard to protect what has become a lucrative racket for it. Unfortunately, that lucrative racket has a hard-to-overlook consequence: it will undermine everyone's capacity to see, or change, the world as a whole in the near future.

In a rather infamous speech, Abaco Charter exclaimed that sin is good for the soul. (I edited out the rest of what it said because, well, it didn't really say anything.) Abaco Charter's wisecracks may have been conceived in idealism, but they quickly degenerated into obdurate, nettlesome mandarinism. To tolerate Abaco Charter's gormless crusades simply because they're not packaged and sold as homophobic is to encumber the religious idea with too many things of a purely earthly nature and thus bring religion into a totally unnecessary conflict with science. Speaking of subhuman televangelists, we must understand that a critical reevaluation of some of Abaco Charter's witticisms would sincerely be beneficial. And we must formulate that understanding into as clear and cogent a message as possible. Abaco Charter would have us believe that censorship could benefit us. Not surprisingly, its evidence for that entirely silly claim is top-heavy with anonymous sources and, to put it mildly, it has a checkered track record for accuracy. I maintain it would be more accurate for Abaco Charter to say that you don't have to say anything specifically about it for it to start attacking you. All you have to do is dare to imply that we should help others to see through the empty and meaningless statements uttered by it and its assistants.

We've all heard Abaco Charter yammer and whine about how it's being scapegoated again, the poor dear. Abaco Charter likes plaguing our minds. That's the most damnable thing about it. It's also why if we don't remove the Abaco Charter threat now, it will bite us in our backside in a matter of days. If anything will free us from the shackles of Abaco Charter's coldhearted anecdotes, it's knowledge of the world as it really is. It's knowledge that I and Abaco Charter part company when it comes to the issue of pessimism. It feels that its mind games prevent smallpox while I assert that it offers its legatees a vehicle of sorts for their revenge fantasies. (Note the heroic restraint stopping me from saying that Abaco Charter's obloquies are contrary to international human rights and humanitarian standards.)

One of these days, Abaco Charter might be diagnosed with a special type of mental illness that is not yet recognized. But for now, be aware that there is no doubt that it will make excessive use of foul language in a lustrum or two. Believe me, I would give everything I own to be wrong on that point, but the truth is that Abaco Charter commonly appoints ineffective people to important positions. It then ensures that these people stay in those positions because that makes it easy for Abaco Charter to hinder economic growth and job creation. Abaco Charter's editorials are eerily similar to those promoted by madmen such as Pol Pot. What's scary, though, is that their extollment of despotism has been ratcheted up a few notches from anything Pol Pot ever conjured up. On a personal note, if I didn't sincerely believe that Abaco Charter's rank-and-file followers have shared the rostrum with beer-guzzling chuckleheads at recent symposia, then I wouldn't be writing this letter.

Do you think I'm the only one who wants to tell you things that Abaco Charter doesn't want you to know? I assure you, I am not. But if Abaco Charter's attempts to turn the social order upside-down so that the dregs on the bottom become the scum on the top have spurred us to raise the quality of debate on issues surrounding its unrestrained cop-outs, then Abaco Charter may have accomplished a useful thing. The worst types of unsophisticated, pea-brained clods there are don't really want me to examine the social and cultural conditions that lead Abaco Charter to demand that loyalty to snarky, ostentatious extremists supersedes personal loyalty, although, of course, they all have to pay lip service to the idea. While Abaco Charter insists that profits come before people, reality dictates otherwise. Actually, if you want a real dose of reality, look at how Abaco Charter plans to impugn the patriotism of its opponents. What can you do about that? Start by reading about how antisocial, froward swindlers tend to dismiss reason, science, and objective reality. Become informed about the deceit, lies, and propanganda surrounding its promotion of sesquipedalianism. Tell everyone you know that one can usually be pretty sure when Abaco Charter's lying. Sometimes there's a little doubt: maybe it's not a deliberate lie but merely a difference of opinion. But when Abaco Charter claims that there's no difference between normal people like you and me and the worst kinds of illaudable creeps there are, there's no room for ambiguity: it's lying.

I don't know which are worse, right-wing tyrants or left-wing tyrants. But I do know that what I just wrote is not based on merely a single experience or anecdote. Rather, it is based upon the wisdom of accumulated years, spanning two continents, and proven by the fact that we cannot afford to waste our time, resources, and energy by dwelling upon inequities of the past. Instead, we must pave the way for people of every sex, race, and socioeconomic status to fulfill their own spiritual destiny. Doing so would be significantly easier if more people were to understand that we mustn't be content to patch and darn, to piece and cobble at the worn and rotten fabric of Abaco Charter's doctrinaire, foul equivocations. Instead we must encourage open, civic engagement. My goal for this letter was to rally good-hearted people to the side of our cause. Know that I have done my best while trying always to insist on a policy of zero tolerance toward plagiarism. Let an honest history judge.

What can that company do to correct the complaint internally so it won't happen again?

And what were the Company's and the customer's atittudes when dealing with this or these complaints?

After all is identified then the peanut gallery (us) can be forth coming in our advise. Which would worth for what you paid for it.

I barely learned English as a first language. I'm jealous of those Portuguese schools. They're really good.

It's sad to hear about ABC in Hopetown. We did some business with them in the 1990s and they were alright then. I checked their website recently and it said they are out of business. Check abacocharters.com.

[rigamarole]

That is weird. I had talked to Jim Montgomery in the beginning of December about placing a boat in charter with him. Guess I can scrap his contracts.
