   My name is Chauncey preal.Owner/operator of the Seajay.Its a
commercial Sportfishing vessel that's operated for years in the
channel islands.
  I submit this letter in reference to the importance of comercial
Sportfishing/watching vessels.
  The importance behind these vessel is larger than is being
considered.It is a community assistant as well as to many the only
piece they recieve as an off time.
   For myself it has changed my life,provides for my family and
also has changed lives.
   I come from a troubled back ground that lead to multiple years
of incarceration.In fact over 10 years.Fisging changed my life
granting me the opportunity to change lives as well.I have with my
troubled experiences donated to troubled areas and have spoke to
future kids to influence great things in their future rather than a
troubled path.
   I have customers that came on my vessel to know what past I came
from.The motivation,that I been told that changed their lives
because they seen my turn around.All I had no idea or intention to
influence but ended  up a huge part of what drives me so hard.
   My boat is also family friendly doing family trips to show the
time I miss working on the boat from them.Its our boat.It provides
go for us.Fir our anglers,our friends.
   Starting back over 20 years ago to see the old faces.The ones
that still fish,the ones that still attempt to when it's so hard
for them to be mobile.This business means more that fun to many.It
means life.Real smiles,real friends,the time we spend together.The
joy we have together.Fighting fish next to one another,trying to
figure out how to catch them.
    To shut our vessels downs would be more than an injustice.It
would be more than possibly putting people on the street.It would
take from many watch their true joy is.Those that fish once a week
,once a month,or years it's a life taker/changer.
    My name is Chauncey Preal/ Seajay owner.This business,these
boats saved my life.From a troubled kid doing troubled stuff on the
streets,to incarceration,and working hard to change and buy and run
a business.I can speak for myself.If this business wasn't around I
don't know where I be.This boat is my life,my families life,and the
life of very many.
    Please hear our pleas.These Boats are our life.See my Social
media.Real smiles,real people.Making memories one day at a time.
