Barefoot Cruise Saturday, December 2, 20167
All of our cruises are open to everyone. However, if there is not enough space for additional crew, Barefoot members will be given preference. Make your plans early and put your name on the list. We meet at 11 AM before the 1st Saturday Open Cruise at the Sunrise Cove Marina club house. Here, we match up boats with crew, discuss what we will be doing for that day's adventure. Then, everyone departs for their boats and sailing fun! Sometimes we raft up and party.
• Offer to help clean and straighten the boat -- VERY IMPORTANT
• Provide the Captain (and other crew) with your contact information, if you would like to crew again
Wednesday Night Cruise: This cruise event is mainly for club members, and is Skippers’ choice for crew – invitation only. Crew that have participated in the First Saturday Cruises have the advantage of experience with their skippers. BUT the Crew Board is a great way to put your name up for consideration, because cruising skippers are often looking for crew. If you’re looking for a ride, be sure to put your name, experience, and contact info on the Crew Board – click the link under “Main Menu” on the left of this page to get to the form you need to fill out. Same goes for skippers that are looking for crew – same link, different form. It’s a great way to connect!
