In November 1999, (wow that seems like so long ago) we set off on a marketing trip to Peru and Chile to try to take advantage of some opportunities there.
Our first stop was in Lima, Peru to meet with an agent, visit some potential service vessels and prepare a detail proposal.
I found Lima to be dusty, muggy and the level of security all around the city did not leave me with a good feeling. All in all, I was happy to leave and to be honest, not completely disappointed when we lost out on that contract.
Our next stop in Chile was a much better experience and I’m happy to report that we have been successful there.
