Hello folks! Please use this thread if you are in need of crew for Tradewinds or if you are looking to get a ride for Tradewinds.

Here's the first one:

Wally Myers needs crew for his Hobie 16. Must have crew lined up before driving down to the Keys. So apply early.

Barb, I sent you an email about a mother who wants to bring her 13 year old, but cannot afford expensive charter. Can't remember the name, but that would be a great ride for him and a good light weight for Wally.

I can always use crew. Max. 170 lbs.

Sight seer with some experience, we will likely be the tail enders.

Sorry, no minors.

I can't be Yenta the matchmaker, but hopefully this thread will help people find each other.

Give yourself a little more credit than that Pete. Your boat's fast enough if it doesn't break, so you just need an extra pair of hands. A hot-shot driver might help your strategy/ RRS confidence. There's a slew of them at Sarasota Squad really wanting to get into spin cats.

But I agree that any crew has to be competitive minded but also willing to enjoy being out there if they're not on the podium.

Despite the" fad" that the F16 is, there's plenty of talent in that fleet

Just got word from Sharon Woodruff she is bringing Stan down (he is not sailing), and Sharon is crewing for Wally.

You're suggesting I'm willing to WORK! sick

I think I have crew for this weekend, will know in the morning.

I'm looking for a college level dingy sailor who wants to familiarize himself (or herself) with spin cats, gain a social foothold and graduate to a faster ride; while kicking back in the Keys for a few days. In return I get a little help with the boat.

You guys ain't so tough. You've never gone drinking in an enlisted men's club.

Oh, if I were a rich man...

I would be seeking a crew spot, however, I'm still s[t]uck in Texas...

True, and given the relatively lax regulations in the Keys, it might be more of a "character building" experience than a criminal record experience.

I was in one, once, on that airbase in the Azores.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lajes_Field

But after a few "Dead Bugs" and "Carrier Landings" on the skee ball table, slick with fresh beer, they threw all us NH Air Guard pukes out.

It's all good fun...until someone gets hurt.

My experience is with the EM club in Baumholder, W. Germany.

If you've been there you know.

They usually don't allow us Officers into the Enlisted men's club, with good reason, they would just kill the fun! We were only able to 'sneak' into the one at Lajes because we had a fast talking boom operator!

You would be the "fun". Baumholder was a zoo in the worst possible sense.
