This isn't exactly sailing per se, but close enough.
I've been thinking about joining a local boat club. If you don't know what that is, it's an organization that owns a fleet of boats, everything from speed boats to pontoon boats, and you pay a monthly fee in order to have use of their boats.
I used to own a boat, but sold it. I miss being out on the water in a boat. I really, really miss it. But I don't miss hauling that thing out to the lake, loading and unloading the trailer, washing and covering it every time it's used, etc.
So a boat club seems like a very good option.
Anyone have any experience in this kind of boat club? I'd like to know what to expect. What to ask before joining. And what to watch out for. Do you think it's worthwhile?
