[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 3187, Issue 2

Tue Feb 2 17:51:47 PST 2016

Yes, I would like to host and organize a Nav.Ed. cruise.  However, I am VERY new to sailing, what I consider. I have a lot to learn and likely to be single handling my boat, figuring this out half of the time. I have no idea what would go into planning and hosting a cruise and impart those plans to several other people. But, it does sound interesting.

As of right now, if all goes according to plan my boat will be in the water in March. Maybe comfortable enough for me to show it to others in April lol. I have had to put a lot of work into it.
