How to get 90 days experience for OUPV license

[Medved]

Hi all, I live ~1hr from Chesapeake and looking for ways to get qualification for OUPV without purchasing a boat. Because I owned a power boat before I can meet 360 day requirement, but not the 90 days in the last 3 years. Because I still have a full-time job my availability is limited to weekends. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Join a sailing club, and go sailing every weekend.

In 90 weeks, you'll be good to go.

You are only 1 hour from a major sailing destination: find sailing/power boat clubs as suggest, hit marina bars for happy hour and strike up a convesation w boaters, show up before races/regattas/events and look for boats who wil take you on as crew, etc...
