Cliff, I must commend your persistence. Don't know how much luck you have had in finding positions, but I do see your posts on quite a few boards. Best of luck.

Thanks Paul, I'll check 'em out.

John, Persistence Hell! I just love to sail! And it's cheaper sailing other's boats.
I actually stay pretty busy sailing with up to a dozen deliveries a year. I'm lucky, I've met tons of interesting people, visited quite a few places, and have lots of friends in low places!

So... Who needs a good crewmember going anywhere?
