Ripped off my deposit

True shame that Mike operates business in a manner that he is. We had booked a whole boat for 03 April and paid our deposit. We were going to travel from Gauteng to LAB and due the country being on lockdown as a result of COVID19 we are obviously not gonna make it. I have sent numerous messages requesting that he advised how we would deal with this, even a postponement would have worked but he is just reading my messages and not bothering with a reply never mind acknowledgement. He is just quite with our money, true shame that we just get ripped off like that after excitement we had about going in his Charter
