I'd like to take you up on it but alas, the airfare is way out of my range. I imagine it to be no worst that when I took a cold & stormy Thanksgiving sail from Boston to Burmuda in a 48' cutter about 25 yrs ago. I got paid + airfare back to take the week off from work to crew. After the 7 days was up I got my airfare & headed for the airport in Alantic City to head back home. It was fun, my 1st & only bout at seasickness (mild) but we didn't get very far (as far as NJ of all places) before we had to twice head for a safe harbor for repairs & shelter. I opted to head out to sea beyond the GF, could've done the repairs on the go & then drive her downwind (& against the Gulf Stream, I'm sure they wouldn't have known how far to head out) towards the islands but they opted for hugging the coast, jerks! After day 7 I left them in the rigging, rerigging to return to my real day job, I think it was the last time I sailed with idiots, though sailing with idiots may be dangerous it is usually cause for continual excitment & some of the stuff good/funny stories are made of, if you survive. If you do a warm season sail in the future & I happen to have airfare would you count me in? I'll look foward to a report on your venterous sail just to see if I'm asking an idiot or not, not that that would deter me for anything stupid, dangerous or exciting, though I may be getting a bit old for that kind of thing now.
