April 2019
I put it out there in the universe and I got It. I received a free boat.
A beautiful Merit 25 sailboat was donated to me by the City Island Yacht Club in exchange for me joining the club for the next two years.
After getting my ASA 101 at the Hudson River Community Sailing I started browsing the web for opportunity to sail, an announcement on meetup.com about free sail brought me to the City Island Yacht Club. The free sail was great, people that wanted to learn how to sail or just spend an evening in the water, was matched with boat owners who needed crew. After that first sail, I was invited to race with several skippers at the club, after the summer was over, I was offered Anarchy, a beautiful merit 25 complete with sails, tools, life jackets etc, all I had to do in in exchange was to join the club and pay the mooring fees.
Here is a short video of Anarchy under Sail
