Finnaly a thread i can brag my *** off in!!!!
Ive been sailing for years, everything from small boat regattas to professional offshore racing and crewing on tallships:
Thats me crewing, out on the trapeeze on a 420 in Dana Point harbor, ca, I did a number of regattas through sea scouts
86 foot Trans pac design, i worked the pit for about 8 months, right up until she demasted on newport-port vallarta, no i was not working that race, thank god, would have hated to have been blamed for a 1.5 million carbon fiber mast toppling down
Ive also speant several weeks out to sea on the spirit of dana point, here she is off ana capa, and me jumping off the bowsprit
I then crewed on the 1926 Alden racing schooner Curlew (yes thats why i chose my callsign, was curlewsailor was too long), thats her underway on top, the others are some interesteing pictures of other tallships and me on the bowsprit with the Bounty in the background, asside from being a deckhand i also was the gunner for the mock cannon battles, yes i know its small but its the loudest pos ever
I also have been teaching sailing to children for 6 years now, i recieved my US Sailing instructor cert and never looked back, i love teaching sailing with a passion.
All of this not even mentioning all the just day sails on some 28-42 ft yatchs, figured by this point youve stopped reading lol
Sorry for the ridiculously long post but as a (22 y/o) old salt i had to share my stories
