If you're a newbie, look up some sailing clubs in your area. Sign up
for a basic sailing course. You'll have plenty of opportunities to crew for people. Being asked to crew is like being asked to go ballooning. But instead of driving the chase car and paying for the gas, you'll be the guy up forward doing all the work. "dave" wrote in message ... How do you go about crewing on someones boat?

How do you go about crewing on someone's boat?
Join your local yacht club as an auxiliary member...it's cheaper than a regular membership and is limited to the "boatless"...then find out when they're teaching the JY 15 classes...start showing up on Wednesday nights for the beer can races and offer to be "rail meat". Don't expect to do anything the firs couple times out except maybe get yelled at and told to move from side to side...watch and listen to everything that is being said and done. Watch the kids sail their Butterflies. Better yet, go sail one of the club's Butterflies. The more you're around, the more rides you'll get, especially if you show some aptitude. -- katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

need help with a dream
One of the more interesting experiences this summer. . . we were sailing
north in Little Egg Harbor, as a "swarm" of butterflies (30 boats?) was reaching across the channel (heading east), back to their dock to end their lesson. Each boat had a kid at the tiller, each kid had a "Holy Sh*t" look on his/her face, as they seemed completely unsure of what to do next. Each kid made the determination to do absolutely nothing, and to allow me to figure out how to avoid colliding with any and all of them. Fortunately the wind was kind enough to allow me to wind my way slowly and cautiously through the array, giving me a chance to greet and speak (very briefly) with many of the young sailors. It was one of the coolest experiences of the season. -- Scout be back later - gotta take a Bertie "katysails" wrote Watch the kids sail their Butterflies. Better yet, go sail one |

Are you a man or a wimp hiding behind your fat wife's
circus tent of a skirt? "The Carrolls" indeed. It sounds to me like some Christmas faggotry. "The Carrolls" wrote in message ... Coming to this group with a question like that, well you would do better trying to teach the proverbial pig to sing, imho. |
