Wanted-overnight stay or a weekend

[sluissa]

I'm looking for anyone along the northern florida, alabama, mississippi gulf coast who might be willing to let me spend a day or two(nights preferable, but if you didn't want me staying I suppose I could get a hotel room) on a boat

sailing is preferable, but I'd consider going even if it was just staying in the slip

I live in pensacola, FL and I currently am taking college classes, so those come first as far as scheduling goes.

I'd be willing to do a moderate amount of cleaning and odd jobs around the boat as payment, or even take the owner(s)/skipper(s) out to dinner or cook dinner on board (please if I do this, i'd like to have a bit of fun, not just spend my whole time there scrubbing, sanding or cleaning out heads. even though I'm not opposed to doing it a bit)

I'm 19, male and quiet mostly. just want to learn and get a bit more experience on boats before I decide to take the plunge and get my own

good luck, if you were in New Zealand I could have taken you out today. Your job would have been to bring and pour the beers and steer the boat!
cheers

Careful Darryl, he's 19, Paula might toss you over the side.

From the other side of the world. They are a bit smaller over there

I appreciate the offer, and if I'm ever in new zealand, I'll take you up on the offer... unfortunately, I have a suspicion if I ever make it there, it'll be on a boat of my own...

[seafox]

thats ok, we can raft up and have a beer together. You will like it over here.

[sluissa]

Sounds good, can't wait

Drop me a line if you are ever out in Ca....

Hey Third Day, just noticed you were located in Avila. I get down there on a regular basis. Have to buy you a cold one at the YC. Elusive was hauled out down there for awhile, and we got the chance to enjoy the club a time or two.

[SV THIRD DAY]

Be sure to look me up....we can head out for a Sail. You provide the beer...I provide the sail ride!

Yer on Rich. A little far for a day sail, so It looks like that is the only way I will get to sail shark bay this year

[SV THIRD DAY]

Today I was wearing my Phills Fishmarket sweatshirt....damn...I hungry for it all ready!

I'll have to bring a cup of Chowder with me

[S/V Elusive]

This is making me sick - homesick. Had a good time, of course, with Kai and all up at Moss (EYC) and when I was hauled out in Port San Luis. Met some great folk at the SLYC - among them was John Hiatt (sp?). You can read about it on my web site ... June / July 2003 section or some of it under the In the Begining:Yacht Clubs section.

Fortunately, I've made some friends down this way - gotta love the boating community!

thanks for the offer rich, I don't expect to be out that way anytime soon, sorry, but if for some reason I am, I'll look you up. I appreciate the offer though, nice to know there are nice people out there.
