Hi Guys:

Anxious for the trip. Actually got out for a sail on the bay today, President's Day. Although a little nippy (hey I grew up in Maine), we were the only ones out except for a couple of tankers anchored waiting for the price of fuel to go up before landing. No, I don't have a dodger, but a great coleman heater kept us warm below on a beautiful sailing day. Two reefs on the main with our number two hanked on kept us going 6 1/2 to 7 knots on a reach out and back from the West River.

Maybe, I can get a couple of "hardy" souls out in the next few weeks if interested. This is really a fun time of year.

Thanks Leslie for your reply,

#63 was back in mid-November. The organizational meeting was just last weekend. Maybe it would be simpler to have a yahoo groups site where we could post all info centrally. The yahoo groups allow posting of messages, files photos, etc.

Pravel, I'm open to all suggestions on how to orginize crew with boats. I just posted an idea in the other thread. Basically, I'll post the boats looking for crew, and people will respond with what boat, personal meetings, phone calls, whatever.

Hello zz4gta,

I set up a Yahoo Groups Site at:
delmarvacirc : Delmarva Circumnavigation

We can post a spreadsheet with info about boats/skippers/crew/crew needed, etc. Other files can also be posted and all messages are centralized. It may help to simplify things.
It has a also has a calender, and a place for files (eg relevant charts, checklists, etc.)

Best regards, Jim

Hello all,

We can create a table to include info about boats/skippers/crew, etc.

To do so, we need to identify the fields. I can make the table,
then it can be completed by each skipper.

Here are the fields I can think of:

Boat Name
Make/model/length/draft
Skipper name
Skipper Contact: cell phone/email/website
Home port
Crew listing
Crew needed? yes/no/how many

Does anyone have suggestions for more/different fields before I make
the table?

The table will be located at the new Delmarva Circumnavigation Yahoo Groups website. It currently has 4 members. This is the link:
delmarvacirc : Delmarva Circumnavigation

Thanks! Jim

I have some boat info and crew info with me. Do you want it in a PM or email? I'd rather not post real life names on the interweb. Peoples names or boat names.

Hi Leslie,
I did a Delmarva circumnavigation last year on a 39' Jeanneau with a crew of 5. I would like take the trip and would be happy to crew for you and your husband. Please send me a PM if you still need crew.

zz4gta,

Is there a problem with posting real info to the Yahoo group table?
It is public info already if a boat is registered and/or documented but I don't want to include it if it's a problem. Just send a private message to me.

Thanks! Jim

Spinsheet Promo.

There's mention of the Delmarva trip and meeting at Boatyard Grill on page 69 of the March issue of Spinsheet...along with a pic of Don and I sailing earlier that day.
