Welcome to Sailnet. I'd recommend you read the post in my signature to help you get the most out of sailnet.

BTW, cooking and cleaning are good..but do you know how to stand a night watch? Do you get sea sick?? Do you know how to steer to a compass course?? Read a chart?? Use a GPS Chartplotter?? IMHO, you should learn at least the basics of sailing before asking to crew, since teaching a complete newbie isn't often something that can be done on a passage. Take an ASA 101 course at a minimum. Better yet, get your STCW 95 certificate and take the ASA 101 course.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
