Thanks for the idea Rob, my time is a bit full, I've been putting lots of
time into finding a job, and working some odd and ends in the mean time.

Once I've got a job again, we've already got our eyes set on the local
sailing club.

Geoff,

You should go down to the local Yacht Clubs and look into crewing on
someone else's boat for races. There are always a few boats that need
additional crew for racing. It might be tough at first but once you
get in with the right group and boat it could really work out well-
and they sail every week. I did that for a while before I bought my
boat to learn the ropes- so to speak. Where in So. Cal do you live?

Good Luck!
Rob

I have a favor to ask. My fiancée loves to sail, she doesn't have a ton
of
experience, but she really enjoys it. I have been sailing since I was a
young kid, and have quite a bit of experience.

We're both nice, friendly people. I wanted to take her sailing this
weekend, Dec 13 or 14th, as part of her birthday celebration.
Unfortunately, I'm unemployed right now (Interview Tuesday!), and, after
checking prices on charters, I simply can't afford it.

So, here's the question, is anyone sailing out of Dana Point, Newport,
or
Long Beach that would like an extra set of hands on board this weekend.
We're good company, and I can promise a really, really good lunch and
some
nice beer for anyone who wouldn't mind us tagging along. Again, also
I'm a
pretty experienced sailor, so I can definitely be put to work.

If it were Sat, we'd need to be aback by 4 or so, so a morning sail
would
work best. Sunday we've got all day.

Thanks,
Geoff Jennings
