Sold my boat....

[Warren Milberg]

So....I've sold my boat. Boo hoo. I'm looking to find other mid-Chesapeake Bay sailboat owners in the Annapolis/South River/Galesville/Deale/Solomons corridor who would like an experienced hand to day sail with them once in a while on weekdays. I'll provide the beverage of your choice and witty repartee. If interested, PM me and we'll go from there.

Good plan.
My good friend says..."Invite me and daughter and I will pay for fuel and food!"
I remarked, not necessary.
He said...
"Oh yes it is, that is the cheapest way to enjoy a boat! Plus we get invited back."

We all have this day coming. Please stay and contribute to SBO. We enjoy your knowledge.

Accepting payment in the form of fuel, food, and beverages may make you a charter boat captain and require you to have at least a six pack license.

 

[Roland5048]

Not so much anymore. That rule was eased a few years ago so guests bringing food, drink, and chipping in for fuel does not put the owner out of compliance. Now, actually requiring such remunerations is another story.

Not quite in your neighbourhood but for that reason I'll let you omit the beverage of choice and only supply your witty repartee. I've always enjoyed your posts and would consider it an honour and privilege if you would join us.

C'mon, what could be better than running around, looking for wind on the wet coast in the middle of summer. As they say "the most beautiful place in the world, on both days it doesn't rain".

Thanks to you all. I do plan on continuing to stay active on SBO.

I do not know if Baltimore Harbor is mid Chesapeake but I am always looking for an experienced sailor to help me take advantage of a blustery day. You would be most welcome. PM me if interested.

Where do you live?

 

[SFS]

I'm not in MD, but anytime you are in the Tampa area I'd be honored to have you aboard as well. Glad you will keep contributing here.

Not quite in your neighbourhood...

That certainly gives away that you don't live in his neighborhood. Or as we like to say, "Boy, you ain't from around here."

 

[Dalliance]

Good plan. As one of my frequent guest/crew members says, "it's great to have friends with boats". Please continue sharing your knowledge on the forum.

Thanks for the update on the rule change. Good to know!

Kermit, I can't believe you pronounce the "a" in around

 

[JamesG161]

Kermit, I can't believe you pronounce the "a" in around

And you = YA'LL.

[Kermit]

And you = YA'LL.
Jim...

Actually, it's spelt y'all.

 

[Kermit]

I almost spelt it that way. But I figgered the flatlanders wouldn't git it.

 

[Roland5048]

Actually, it's spelt y'all.

OK, let's git this straight.
Y'all is singular.
All y'all is plural.

 

[Kermit]

OK, let's git this straight.
Y'all is singular.
All y'all is plural.

All y'all's is plural possessive.

Eh?
