A new development! I got a call from the marina manager today - the boat is getting all new ECU units. That is a victory. He then said that there is another issue: my public blog:
He asked me to remove or modify what I had written... if not, they would "remove the resources from the boat repair."
I QUIT!
I will NOT be coerced, I will NOT be quiet. Xanterra was lax, bordering on negligent in the repair of the boat. It was only when I made things public that any serious action was taken to get the necessary repairs.
What I have written was all true. I told them that there was a facility on that blog for them to respond if they feel the need to support their inaction. I was told that the company will not respond.
We will turn in our uniforms and employee IDs today, as soon as possible. It will be our pleasure to put as much distance between us and this company as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Jim and Joan Bathurst

About Us
- Captain Jim and the Blonde
- Now based in Arizona, coast to coast, United States
- We retired in 2006. Since then, we spent a few years traveling on our boat, Wild Blue. From the Florida Keys to Desolation Sound in Canada, San Francisco Bay to the Erie Canal and down the Hudson River to New York City... going where the weather suits our clothes. Now traveling by land in our Winnebago motorhome, and newly based out of Arizona. A while back, I published a book about our travel adventures with Molly the Boat Cat; Cat On A Leash is available in paperback and all eBook formats. Molly taught me a lot. After Molly, there was 9 great years with the sweetest cat ever, Izzy (Isabella); our little supermodel feline. Our hearts were broken when her time came, and we are now enjoying our big boy, Rufus - another shelter rescue, with a wonky ear, a great attitude, and so happy to have found "his people." Eight years of "fun summer jobs" has taken us to some great places to be in the summer. Now, appreciating being gainfully unemployed. And getting out on our bikes (a Honda CTX for me, a Yamaha Xmax for Joan). Still anxious to see what is over the horizon.
