Don,

As always you come through with an excellent suggestion, what would I do
without you? ; )

Hey if I can get off next July I would love to do the Marblehead to Halifax
Race. Do you know of anyone who needs crew for the race. I normally work
pit, but will do the sewer or grind. The only job I don't like is foredeck.

Have you ever done the race or participated in the after race parties?


You might have a better chance of catching a ride with the Boston Yacht
Club gang. American yachts make up the majority of the boats.
You never know though...try here at the club our skipper belongs to...

There is an area set aside for the Marblehead/Halifax Ocean Race.
I haven't done the race...as I tend to get seasick out in heavier swells
and always worried about being in the way during a 2-3 day race such as
this. My former co-worker, a female, loved going to the parties as it
was a chance to meet 'rich American sailors'. I wasn't interested so
avoided the club...way too busy compared to the sedate normal atmosphere.
