sailing

I just got back on this site, but I'm staying in coastal North Carolina and know how to sail. Anyone want to try and head north for the summer? Any thoughts or ideas? I don't have much money but I know how to work on wooden boats.

So I ended up in NYC and I'm crashing with some friends in Washington Heights. I remember reading awhile back about a community of boat punks over here in the city. Anybody able to give me info on their whereabouts? Looking for good people to hangout with on my free days, maybe contribute to the...

Fuck. Almost just wrecked the boat. Sailing is a lot harder than Youtube makes it look. So glad I have a working engine, it just saved my ass from ending up on the rocks. Take this from experience, do not try and sail all by yourself if you have never been sailing in your life. It does not...
