Anyone Want to Help a Florida Newbie?

Hi there everyone,

My name is Matt and I just graduated college. I live in SW Florida for the time being. I've sailed a few times, but the majority was when I was too young to really gain skills.

Unfortunately, I don't have a boat, much less the money for one after that expensive education. What would ya'll recommend for gaining experience?

Anyone in the area need help or looking for someone to sail with? I can always offer hours of being serenaded by me and my guitar

Happy I found this place, everyone seems pretty nice so far

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, Matt.

Congratulations on graduating, and best of luck moving forward.

Check out local yacht & sailing clubs. Racing skippers are often looking for crew. Many clubs also have learn to sail programs.
