Where do you live, Owen? San Diego's got a good fleet at MBYC, and Long Beach has a good fleet at ABYC. Both fleets need people. There's a good schedule of events between the Hobie 16s, the F18s and the A-class regionally, with a pocket of Nacra 20s at MBYC. I know of boats for sale if you want your own, or of skippers that need crew if you'd rather. There are also lots of on-the-water jobs available throughout the year. Drop me a PM and we'll trade contact info.

And thanks, Tad - nice of you to say, but I'm still pretty much the FNG out here.
