It looks like a fun activity, don't get me wrong.... its just something I have never experienced, and I have alot of those thoughts about shit lol.
Every single time I watch Man V Food I wonder what a starving Ethiopian would say if he could watch it with me.... like "Wait.... you mean he is going to try to eat that 5 pound burrito.... for fun? And people watch this? For entertainment?!?!"

Planning on doing the live-aboard eventually, of course registered out of Islamorada. I'll have to take a few refreshment courses, been years since I sailed...let alone anything this large in the Atlantic.

I had no clue a school would have a sailing team. Thats one heck of an expensive sport/extra curricular

Factoid: They are ICSA, not NCAA (in case anybody cares, lol).

I'm in the process of ASA 101. Planning on doing 103 and 104 as well. Will be years probably before I attempt sailing anything that big though.

The difference between sailing and speedboads is gas.
One costs money and the other will take you anywhere in the world for free.

nvan, you just need to meet people with boats and bring beer. They will teach you how to said.
Anyone with beer that will switch the jib is always welcome aboard.

Planning on doing that as well. Maybe even volunteering as crew for some races. There's a lake down the street that has about 5 a year. Same lake I'm doing ASA 101 on and the captain that runs the school knows everyone.

When I was 15 and in high school, I applied for a crew spot on a charter out of san fran that was heading to hawaii, lol. They never replied but I was ready to do it.

Spent the whole day out on the water. It was awesome. I got pretty good with the jib sheets today. My instructor I am taking ASA 101 from said "let me know if you want to crew on a boat, I can get you with a good group of people". They race around the lake every Wednesday night for a bottle of rum and then meet up at the bar in the marina to socialize for a bit after the race. Now I'm drinking rum drinks. Jimmy Buffett mode fully engaged.

Laugh now if you want. I'm gonna be sailing around the Caribbean for a good chunk of the year, while you guys are still here starting threads about how much you hate IL winters
