A Very Special Fishing Trip

Back in my early 20's I was a mate on a fishing boat. Very unheard of at the time to have a girl net, filet, hook bait, tie lines, set an anchor, engine watch, take out tangles. And all of the other wonderful jobs you do on a fishing boat. Our cook didnt show up that morning. So needless to say "galley was closed". Fair warning to all customers to go buy something before we were to leave the harbor. Now mind you it's about a 4 hour trip. We were doing a few of these a day. About 30 minutes into the trip I was asked if I could make a burger for this man. Wonder why I was asked when we had 2 other "male" mates working with me. (Let you in on a little secret, I was also owner of the boat and operation) So, I wash the squid ink off my hands. I was in the middle of dicing up a big ass squid for bait. Now that smell and stain from the ink does not come off very easily! Once again I wonder why he asked me?? The other 2 mates weren't cutting up bait!! SO I proceed to fix him his burger. After a few minutes he brings me back a half eaten burger and told me it was not done enough!! I go back and fix him another. Sure as shit he was back to tell me it was done to much!!@#$%& This guy could of cared less about his burger. I was up in my wheelhouse watching and listening to him tell his buddies I had no place being on deck and I should be in the GALLEY! Well, let's just say his 3ed burger was a very special one
And he actually enjoyed it and had the nerve to tell me it was delish!!" The look on his face when I was shaking customers hands and thanking them for fishing on my boat at the end of the trip, Fucking Pricless Day!!
