Want to Rent: Sailboat adventure

[lowcountryjimmb]

My wife and I will be in the St Augustine area on the 9th and 10th of April. We are hoping to go sailing with a St Augustine sailboat owner on a 3 to 5 hour cruise. We will be happy to pay for this adventure. Show us the area you love and share with us your love of sailing.

You want someone to take you out for a "three hour tour". Don't you think that would be tempting fate just a little?

Just kidding of course. I think there are a number of CF members in St Augustine. Hopefully one of them sees your post and responds.

Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

I am not holding out thoughts of washing up on an unchartered desert isle but a good ride around the St Augustine area would work just fine. I have sailed quite a few times. My wife has never been on a sailboat.

I'm in Gainesville so not far from St Augustine and do have a boat but it's parked under a tree in the woods. You're welcome to come sit on the deck and daydream.

That might be the safest way to go sailing. Thanks Skip.

Maybe, maybe not. I managed to fall off a few months ago and almost killed myself. Of course completely operator error.

On the other hand, if you're subject to motion sickness then this would be just the ticket.

Your boat is sounding better and better. I will bring the cooler and the sunscreen and have a lovely afternoon on a sailboat and know that my dear wife will not get sick. This could be a perfect introduction of sailing.

Set a rainbird and a fan on the bow and have a realistic experience. Mac

I think I am having more fun with some of the posts than I ever could on a sailboat

Since the mast is down I'll add a stick and a bed sheet to really enhance the experience.

Well, you know the old joke about sailing (and don't tell this one to your wife)?

Sailing is like standing in a cold shower wearing a raincoat and tearing up hundred dollar bills. More realistic if the shower is bouncing up and down.

There are plenty of hourly rental charters out of St Augustine if you don't find one here.

Thanks all. It has been fun. I might bring a bass drum and hit it once in a while and tell my wife it is the boom.
