Yes it is. The next cruise and or meeting will be in September. We are all
out cruising. They are usually raft ups. No docks for us.

I have, thanks Doug - I’ve been meaning to make it out to a meeting but
situations keep conspiring to prevent me from attending. Is it possible to go
to the cruise if I miss the meeting?

Re: Stus-List Offshore passages as crew - where to start?
Thanks Tom, I’ll check out the crew bank, that seems like a good resource. Crazy about the storm/becalmed situation… I won’t be able to make it to Thetis (at least, not without seriously inconveniencing my employees) but would love to meet up with other Puget Sound C owners sometime soon - maybe a sail to Blake Island in the fall? -- Andrew Means S.V.

Re: Stus-List Offshore passages as crew - where to start?
Take the Safety at Sea course. It is invaluable and makes you much more attractive as a crew member. Have the proper gear - foulies, boots, gloves, inflatable PFD with harness and tether, headlight, water bottle, coffee mug Do some overnight cruising, even if a cruise to nowhere. Get used to a 3 hour watch in the middle of the night. Steer by compass or instrument with no reference point other than a star or two. Try to do some deliveries. Racers often need return crew, so get on crew boards for distance races. Sail in conditions you would avoid. You don't get to choose your weather on day 4 or 14 of an ocean voyage. Get comfortable with 30 knot winds and 8 foot seas. Remember, forces go up exponentially as wind doubles.

Andrew, have you heard of the Puget Sound Cruising Club (PSCC)? We meet
every 3rd friday at the NSCC library hall. And go on a cruise the following
weekend. There are members that are or have sailed all over the world. I am
sure you can find someone looking for crew. Maybe not to Hawaii, but someplace
across the great blue ocean. Come check us out, there at least 2 other listers
that are members.

My recent trip to Tofino and the west coast of Vancouver Island has convinced
me I want to do more offshore passages, and eventually cross oceans. I have a
fair amount of experience sailing around Puget Sound/San Juans/etc. and feel
like I’d be fairly useful addition to most crews.
If you had very little offshore sailing experience and had set a goal of
sailing to or from Hawaii within the next 1-3 years (crewing on somebody else’s
