New to Sailing - Port St. Lucie, FL

[Bill&Cathy]

Loved living in a travel trailer for 3 years, hate the home we now own, raised two wonderful kids, took some sailing classes, read books on live aboard lifestyle, and now Cathy and I are ready to try it.

This is a great site and I am sure we will active memebers as time goes on.

We currently live in Port Saint Lucie, FL and would like try living aboard on a temporary basis before we make the final plunge. Any ideas on how we might find a situation like this? We would also like to crew for others to get some experience.

Any other suggestions for newbies would be appreciated, too.

Welcome to the forum Try posting a flyer at the local marinas for boatsitting opportunities, I started out by taking care of a brokerage dock. Also you can join the local yacht club for sailing experience. Have fun.
