Southern California Sailors

I have a favor to ask. My fiancée loves to sail, she doesn't have a ton of
experience, but she really enjoys it. I have been sailing since I was a
young kid, and have quite a bit of experience.

We're both nice, friendly people. I wanted to take her sailing this
weekend, Dec 13 or 14th, as part of her birthday celebration.
Unfortunately, I'm unemployed right now (Interview Tuesday!), and, after
checking prices on charters, I simply can't afford it.

So, here's the question, is anyone sailing out of Dana Point, Newport, or
Long Beach that would like an extra set of hands on board this weekend.
We're good company, and I can promise a really, really good lunch and some
nice beer for anyone who wouldn't mind us tagging along. Again, also I'm a
pretty experienced sailor, so I can definitely be put to work.

If it were Sat, we'd need to be aback by 4 or so, so a morning sail would
work best. Sunday we've got all day.

Thanks,
Geoff Jennings

Pay no attention to the uninspired rhetoric.

Geoff:

If you and your lady love happen to be in the San Juan Islands any time
soon, I'd be happy to have you aboard my old dowager Westsail for an
afternoon sail. Happy Holidays in the meantime.

Thanks for the idea Rob, my time is a bit full, I've been putting lots of
time into finding a job, and working some odd and ends in the mean time.

Once I've got a job again, we've already got our eyes set on the local
sailing club.

Thanks!

Simon: That was downright mean. It sounds like a reasonable request to me.
