Finding Crew???

I'm always amazed at the number of boatsnobs who never ask them if
they'd like to cruise around the harbor or go on a trip. How
silly......

I would agree wholeheartedly, Larry, except that many yacht
clubs/marinas do not (at least to my knowledge locally) allow club
employees to socialize or crew for members due to liability issues. I
can't give the dockmaster a beer on a hot day at my club, and while a
fit 22 year old would be helpful in docking in a cross-wind, it can't
be a guy I invited on his day off from working in my club.

Conceivably, I could use a dock kid from ANOTHER club on his/her day
off, but usually I just call up crew off the racing boats, for whom a
day cruise out into the lake is comparatively relaxing.

Unfair and neurotic, perhaps, but that's how it was explained to
me...as an insurance/culpability issue.
