Crew NOT Available.

I'm fat, over 47 years old, absolutely not interested in crewing. I'm anti social and at the same time I have no friends. And I smell.

I snore at a recorded Decibal level of 8.9 DBS, (as officially recorded at the United Snorers of America, of which I'm a very respected member) uncouth to even the politest person, and have no idea how to make popcorn or coffee.

I do know how to complain and make strange popping noises with my ears. I usually do this at the most inopportune time.

I.....................Okay I'll stop. If you've read this far, hope you had a good laugh.


All the best to you old and new Ancient Mariners of the Sea.

Must be something about that PNW water that nurtures good crew.

That's a great resume, but can you break wind with the best? I mean, can you make the boat shake? The ground tremble? Leaves are blown off trees? Your emissions cause nearby air quality monitors to go off scale? When fed beans you are required by law to wear a hazardous gas sign? This prized quality would seem to nicely complete your qualifications.

I have read so many crew available of 20-25 year olds who speak four languages, play the guitar, know how to fix a torn sail, and can do anything else ever necessary. It is nice to hear something different.

Glad you guys had fun with it.

I appreciate your honesty but you are bit too young and well-mannered to crew for me.

What do you smell like? Puppies? Warm chocolate chip cookies? Week old sweat socks?

Welcome aboard.

Well I can't do those things but I can navigate with a bandanna tied over my eyes, if that helps ?

Just give me a tuning fork, a ballpeen hammer, a jewelers screwdriver, a welders mask, and a copy of the farmers Almanac. (The 1908 edition not the 1907 one.) Works every time.

I was going to see if you wanted to crew for me. But I only allow those who promise to drink all my beer and not buy any themselves.
