Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I've lived aboard the present yacht since Fall, 2019, after living aboard several other boats since 2007. I have extensive offshore experience, including a transatlantic in 2009.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certified

The boat is a well-equipped bluewater vessel, and I am a very safety-oriented owner and skipper. I need crew primarily to help stand watch on overnight passages.

What is expected of the crew

I'm looking for crew with (required) previous offshore experience, including solo overnight watches, to help me sail my yacht from Portsmouth, RI to Brunswick, GA and possibly St. Augustine (where I am presently on a mooring waitlist). I plan to set sail on Nov. 6, and I anticipate that, weather permitting, the passage will take 5-6 days. The passage will be outside (i.e., no ICW unless we need to duck in to avoid really foul weather -- so a good ocean mile builder if that's what you're looking for). There will be 3 of us aboard, and we'll stand 3-hour solo watches around the clock. Crew pay travel expenses to and from my boat, and I pay all expenses aboard (excluding alcohol). Strictly no smoking. Must be covid-vaccinated.

Thank you for your interest!
