15 Tips on How to be a Good Crew Member (and keep your job)

I understand being afraid of seasickness or treacherous storms, but the trade-off to most likely lay in the sun and become one with the wind and water, are totally worth it. My relationship with sailing began as I flipped my boat on Lake Virginia during my first sailing class in college. My partner and I swam to the surface and retrieved the
