The summer is upon us, and what better way to make your avocation your vocation than by finding a job in the marine industry? At a recent meeting of the Annapolis Sailing Industry Association (ASIA), we were overwhelmed by the number of marine businesses actively looking for help. Here are just a few.
The Marine Trades Association of Maryland is accepting applications for marine internships for their partners. They’re happy to connect applicants directly with employers, so send your resume to [email protected] right away.
Annapolis Performance Sailing (APS) is looking for summer seasonal help operating the retail store and assisting with online orders. Their products include hardware, apparel, accessories, rigging services, apparel embroidery, and much more. For more information, email your cover letter, resume, and a brief sailing resume to [email protected] and be sure to tell them SpinSheet sent you.

If you're retired, or just aren't looking for work, how about volunteering with Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB)?
