Hello, I'm new!

[Anya]

Hello all,

My name is Anya and I've got this terribly large itch to get out and see more of the world. I'm not made of money and I keep finding myself scouring the internet for working holiday opportunities and I'm very intertested in crewing on a boat, motor or sail will do but I would prefer sailing.

I've got no experience on boats other than small motor boats in the summertime. I'm planning on staying in Atlanta till the end of 2006 as I'm paying off the last of my debt. But, please keep me in mind! I've read some threads about newbies to the sport and so I'm going to look into gaining some knowledge on local boats. I spent a few day trips on a sailboat on Lake Michigan so I know I'm ok with the seasick. My grandmother used to race sailboats and my grandfather was in the Navy so I'm praying it's in my blood!

Anyhow! I'm fun, I find my jokes funny (oh dear), I've cleaned houses professionaly so I know how to scrub and cooking is my passion. Feel free to throw any advice my way!

Thanks and take care!

P.S. One question- for boats that don't pay for unexperienced crew members such as myself, could anyone give me a ballpark figure of normal expenses and such?
