...who could take my son and I out, May 10th or 11th? I am a Catalina 25 owner in the North Seattle area and would trade for a day out in the Puget Sound.
I'd be glad to have you and your son along sailing. I actually live in Hemet, about 2 hours drive north of San Diego. I just spent Friday evening and ALL day Saturday sailing out on the Pacific. Fantastic day. Always enjoy having others along to enjoy the day.
Whoops!! It was midnight when I read your request. Looked at the calendar and realized May 10, 11 is mid-week. I cannot do this as I teach high school chemistry but if you are around for Friday night, Saturday or Sunday, either weekend before or after those dates, I'd be happy to sail. Maybe Jim or Mike of Fleet 7 might be able to sail mid-week as they live close by their boats.

"But" indeed!!! What am I thinking?? I haven't had a sick day, a discretionary day, etc., for over 2.5 years!! And that was to drive to a cardiologist appointment. When I have had a fever or felt sick, I've gone in anyway.....and the kids, even though they are really cool and wonderful, won't miss me for one day. Alright!! Now to see if I can find an available substitute for one of those days. Unless, of course, Mike wants to do this? Or Jim? Or Mike and Jim could come along, too!! What say you, Mike and Jim? A Fleet 7 Cruize mid-week?
Gary, I am sure that you have personal business days, use one. I did last week to take a short trip, it is what they are for. Since you do not use subs often I would offer this advise. Make up a test for the students. Subs will give tests but they do little else. Students usually take tests serious enough that they will stay on task for the hour. Make it open book so they cannot claim they are not prepared. Go sailing.
I can meet you either day at L dock at Marina Village at 4:30 PM for an afternoon and evening of sailing. Or both days for that matter as I sail every day after work....
Jim, That would be awesome, 4:30 is perfect! If it's alright with you let's plan on going out on the 10th, and save the 11th as a back-up. Do you have extra life jackets or should I bring some, it will be me and my 5yr old son (he has some experience sailing)?
I hope I get a chance to repay you whenever you are in Seattle.
Gary, Is this okay with you?
Thank you both so much for responding to my call for fun in San Diego.
Absolutely okay with me. And you'll be sailing with the official association commodore!!
Frank, you do make a valid point. Hadn't considered (remembered comes to mind as a better word) discretionary days / personal days....and I have never used one of those and our union bargained for, and got, these days.
Sorry I haven't responded before now by my schedule is day to day right now. I would be glad take you guys out on the 11th, but it would have between 11:00 and 3:00. My boat is also in Mission Bay near Jim's(Ok, it's in the slip next to Jim's boat).
