Dear Shipmates
Introduction
Hi All,
It's time to take my boat back to St. Augustine, FL. The engine was rebuilt in the Spring, and a new roller furler was installed, and a new stuffing box installed this week, along with new bottom paint.
I'm looking for some crew to help with one or two week long legs of the journey. MD to Wrightsville and then Wrightsville to St. Augustine. Stops along the way as needed. Looking for low-key, easy going people that are interested in the journey in addition to the destination.
I've done this trip 3 times so far and have cruised quite a bit in the Gulf of Mexico.
Please reach out with any questions, thanks!

About the boat, the plans, and current crew
usually cleancomfortablevery safevessel is survey certifiedshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventureface challengesmulticultural
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. 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 mast is 65ft tall and will not fit under any bridges on the ICW, so it's an outside boat.
I've got crew for the Florida leg from St. Augustine to Marco Island, and am looking for crew for 2 legs from MD to St. Augustine.
