“ Way too much fun. Wish there was dancing....fortunately there was dancing at "Columbus 72"....took potential crew there for some after "meet up" fun. By the way, dancing is boating on land.......on a boat the floor is moving and I am attempting to appear up-right....on a dance floor the floor is steady and I am attempting to appear anything but up-right.....the difference is the beat and the rhythem. Cadence vs sea state. ”

When it gets warmer outside...I have a generous sized garden and big kitchen of a Brooklyn Brownstone in Park Slope.

“ I had a wonderful time talking with people who had and didn't have boats. The sailing world is so "fragmented" with many potential crew and as well as owners not having much contact with others who are interested in sailing. This is a good way to meet others interested in Sailing. I was given contact information by a couple of people who were interested in learning to sail. I have attempted to contact them without any response. Don't know why. Will use the email feature next time. ”
