Good luck on your mission and welcome to this forum. Life on the sea, has no equal;-)

PEACE LUV & HAPPINESS

Sounds like a great trip both personally and spiritually....I wish her the best in her travels, please keep me in mind for your next adventure. I am retired from the Marine Corps.

Welcome!

You've come to the right place. I love to see it when another person of the female persuasion comes on because it's her idea and not someone else's. There's lots of good info here and if you just go places around New Bern where sailors hang out and keep asking to learn, someone will teach you. That's what I did and now I'm on my 5th boat. Good luck to you!

Is there a forum or group that posts such information?

Check out the Women Who Sail group on FaceBook. There are over 8,000 members and some of them are in the New Bern area and would be glad to help you out.

Red's just one example of a ton of worthy female salty types here (in a good way)

If I made a list, I'd omit more than a few by accident... But I can think of 10+ off the top of my head...

😍Glad to meet each of you, I feel better about this adventure in which I'm "embarking" upon...

Tammy, Contact Omar Sails in New Bern. It is run by Craig and Katherine Beavers. They host a monthly get together for local sailors. Craig is a retired marine and they are both great people and very much involved in the local sailing community. Mention S/V GeWil to them.

I forgot to mention that there is a marina on base at Cherry point with a great group. It is Hancock Yacht Club. Craig Beavers is the president of their yacht club I believe.

Open to suggestions, advice and making new friends in the Sailing community.
Blessings,
Tammy

I'm on a round the world trip if you are free and adventurous. I have some crew space for pacific from next march 44 foot Beneteau well set up in Portugal now heading for Caribbean in Nov

I second what GeWill said, contact Craig or Katerine @Omar Sails in New Bern 252-728-5598 sailsbyomar@gmail.com

He has also been promoting a "sailors get together" once a month at the Brown Pelican on Broad St., just around the corner for the Chelsa, you probably know the location, also the NYRA, Neuse River Yacht Racing Assoc. should be starting there Winter racing series very soon, some boats may be looking for crew.
Again thank you for your service
Capt. Ron
