Simon: That was downright mean. It sounds like a reasonable request to me.

Any man who is unemployed and cannot even afford a
sailing excursion for his fiancée will likely make one
sorry husband. Do your fiancée a favor and get a job.

Stop mooching and stop being so irresponsible. You sound
like a loser to me.

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,

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

No he shouldn't. The man needs to spend every waking
hour getting a job. He should get even a crummy job
while he is looking for something he prefers more.

There is NO excuse to be engaged and to be a lazy
bum more concerned with leisure time activities than
being a responsible productive human being.

Anyone for persecuting strangers?

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.

If you and your lady love happen to be in the San Juan Islands any time
soon, I'd be happy to have you aboard my old dowager Westsail for an
afternoon sail. Happy Holidays in the meantime.

It's a long shot for you guys, but the same applies here in beautiful,
sunny, Queensland, Australia.

If any of you guys find yourselves in our neck of the woods you are always
welcome to join us on our boat for a sail.
Depending on the weather conditions, we usually either go along the coast,
across to Fraser Island, the worlds biggest sand island, or visit Lady
Musgrave Island on the Great Barrier Reef.

We will also welcome you to one of our traditional Aussie BBQ's. No shrimp,
just good ol Rump Steak!! I know you guys in the USA don't get rump steak,
but we do in Australia and it is the best BBQ steak going!!

Ha!!

Well that is interesting.

When I have been to the USA no one had ever heard of Rump steak.
One butcher I talked to knew what it was and said that they didn't have that
cut of meat in the USA because they cut the beef up differently. You end up
with a rump roast.

I don't know that your rump would be better than ours as we are very famous
for our beef, but I will admit your BBQ ribs are excellent. (Unfortunately
we can not get them over here for the same reason explained above.)

By the way, it's not Awstralia. That's the way the pommies pronounce it.
It's Australia, or Ozzie to us locals!!

Best regards
