Cape Dory owners near Chicago?

[stepcut]

Hello,

I am preparing to put in an offer on a Cape Dory 33. As great as the boat is up on the hard, it would be nice to actually sail on a Cape Dory at least once before putting in an offer.

So, if anyone nearish to Chicago is looking for crew on any size Cape Dory -- I'm your man! I've got about 180 hours of time on the water. So I've got a lot left to learn, but should be able to follow any directions you throw at me.
