    obanarama liked post by miatapaul On thread : Who pays for the food and beer?
    I think it really depends on the skill level of your crew. I would love to crew on some races, but since I have no racing experience, I would bring beer/snacks enough for myself and some extra. But...

    Varies a lot from boat to boat and region to region. I grew up with all food and drink provided by the boat. More recently I've seen a shift to boat buying the drinks and crew bring their own food....

    obanarama liked post by PaulinVictoria On thread : The future of the sailing world. Why are there so few young people cruising??
    You didn't see lots of people in their 20s cruising before, or since, that generation. The baby boomers had the world given to them on a plate so they took advantage. And of course screwed...

    Ya know, it's just a poorly written little blurb by an uninformed author in the opinion page and certainly not a left wing conspiracy. But these is odd times. It's Obama's fault. No, wait a minute....

    Wrong quote. A more appropriate one would be, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Your quote suggests that bad things happen to those who do good deeds, which is not what I was...
