Hi All,
It's time to take my boat back to Florida for the Winter.
I'm looking for crew to help with one or two week long legs of the journey. MD to Wrightsville and then Wrightsville to St. Augustine. Stopping along the way as needed. Looking for low-key, easy going people that are interested in the journey in addition to the destination. The boat will winter in Marco Island, and I've already got crew for the last leg from St Augustine to Marco island.
I've done this trip 3 times so far and have cruised quite a bit in the Gulf of Mexico with crew and solo.
Please reach out with any questions, thanks!
Ray

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The yacht is a 1992 Beneteau Oceanis 50. It's got a classic interior (lots of wood) with a 3 cabin layout and 3 heads. A bow thruster was installed 2 years ago that will hopefully be repaired before the journey but not a must to shove off. The engine was rebuilt this Spring, and a new roller furler was installed, and it's getting a new stuffing box this week.There are 2 life rafts on board that were certified 5 years ago. AIS was installed last year and it's on a Samsung tablet. The radar is not working. The epirb was tested this week and working. The mast is 65ft tall and will not fit under any bridges on the ICW, so it's an outside boat.
