Crew Wanted: Day sailing partners wanted near Oriental NC

[birdsey]

I am seeking people who want to sail on my Dufour 31. Male or female, young or old is no matter. As long as you can handle a boat pole and LEARN how to tie a line (rope) and flake a sail you are "in there"!

I mostly need help getting to and from the dock and lifting and lowering sails.

No experience required, but some would be helpful!

I live in Salisbury NC and travel to the boat and usually spend 2-4 days there, might even be able to give you a lift if it is not TOO far out of the way!

I usually sleep in the pilot berth or the salon so if you want to crash in the V berth it is open and available! I can accommodate 2 or 3 people if that many want to come along!

There is no pay involved and I am not charging anything, just want to sail!!

You will need to provide your own food and beverages. I do drink a bit o rum but not till we are tied up at the dock! ; ) 420 acceptable.

[Jcolman]

I'd love to join you. I'm in Raleigh and have a lot of free time during the week. Weekends I'm often busy shooting weddings (I'm a photographer) but I'm not tied up every weekend.

I sailed quite a bit back in the late 70's when I lived in Fl. I'm looking to purchase another boat and keep in Oriental, but I've never sailed out of there before so I'm eager to learn the waters.

I'm not a rum drinker but I do enjoy beer! I'm happy to pay my own way. I also grill a mean steak.

I live in Oriental, am reasonably fit, 67 yo and retired. I would be interested in a casual, pick up sail on a nice day, but not a routine thing. I can go most days, including weekends.

Send me a PM if you are interested and I will send contact info.

Where do you keep your boat?

David

[birdsey]

I sent you both PMs and I am hoping to hear from more folks!

[Hank Kivett]

Someone with the name of "paynterbj" sent me a email about crewing but i cant find it on here and never left me a way to contact him.....

[birdsey]

I have built up a list of people interested in day sailing but always interested in finding more!

That sound great, I will send you a PM.

[Bruce Moore 4]

This sounds like a good opportunity, and if you still need crew, I am interested and wish you would consider me. I'm retired military so I have no time constraints. I am usually available. I have taken several ASA sailing courses and have gained some experience crewing for professional captains on boat relocations. I am always looking for opportunities to learn. I live in Garner NC, just outside Raleigh, and if your route to Oriental takes you near there, that would be a huge help, since my wife and I have one car. My email is moorebrucem(at)earthlink(dot)net. Thank you. Bruce Moore

Bruce,
What branch? What did you do? I knew someone by that name

[Bruce Moore 4]

To a64pilot, sent PM.

[birdsey]

Hey Bruce,

That sound great, I do normally drive right through Raleigh on my way to the boat. My direct email is my name garthbirdsey AT msn DOT com.

It will hopefully warm up soon and be sailing weather!!

[a64pilot]

Bruce,
Didn't get a PM, got an email, anyway I flew with a person named Bruce Moore in Germany and Bosnia, wondered if that was you, but I guess not

[irishwhisper]

Hubs and I are newbies, sailing our own 30ft Clipper Marine on Lake Kerr most weekends for the past 6 months, can definitely handle all the basics.... Would love to put in some time with a more experienced sailor, AND share your rum.
Cheers!
