1945.0. "Key West race week chartering" by BTOVT::HILTON_G (SYS-F-UNIVCRASH% REALITY.SYS Corrupted - Reboot Universe? (Y/N/Q) Sun Oct 11 1992 09:08

    A few of us are currently planning on chartering a 49' sloop
    from the Ft. Lauderdale area during this years Lauderdale to Key West
    race week (jan 9 thur jan 19)(more or less). We are also planning 
    on driving a J30 down by truck for the actual race. Since I will
    be the skipper on the 49 and also crew on the J30, the trip is
    planned as follows:
    
    	Arrive Lauderdale on the 9th. board the 49 sloop and also
    drop the J30 in the water. The racing crew will be down on tue
    to 'build the boat'. In the mean time we will sail to Key West.
    On tuesday I and any other crew from the 49' will fly up to lauderdale
    for the race. We will then race to Key West , there.. meeting the
    crusing boat. The 49 will act as tender for a day in Key West.
    After the race we will take the 49 to bimini and then back to
    lauderdale.
    
    Whats my point?   
    
    We are looking for anyone interested in chartering and sailing with us 
    ...perhaps a second boat or if someone is planning a trip around that
    time meeting up for a day or something...

I FEEL LIKE THE CAPTAIN OF A BOAT FROM HAITI... :)

	We are now almost 8 people over the number
	we can take. And a couple more just sent me
	mail expressing an interest.

	I would be willing to front for a second
	boat... ie get all the papers together,
	plan the trip etc etc ...

			*IF*

	I can find a GOOD captain for the second boat.


	If we can get a second captain to aggree to
	take charge of boat number 2 , we can take
	another 6 or 8 people (depending on the comfort
	level of the skipper and boat size.


	If there is a captain in the house thats interested
	PLEASE send mail or call

	Otherwise we are now currently booked fully.
	

PS: I have secured a second 40'+ sloop but I need a
	definite captain to nail the second boat down.

	We have to finalize this by the end of the
	month. (as to captain and crew)

	
	ANYONE who wrote me and did NOT get a berth
	as of today. First, sorry... I was overwhelmed
	with requests. Second, PLEASE enter a reply
	in the topic so we can get a second crew 
	together. I have a cople leads to a second
	captain so if you are truly interested plop
	your name and stuff as a reply to this topic.
	If there is enough response i'll start the 
	process of a second boat.

			
		THANKS ALL!!!
