Crew Wanted: Keys, FL to Charleston, SC / Immediate Crew Opportunity

[Sailor Vee]

My brother just had an emergency back home and can't help me sail the boat north from the Middle Keys, FL to Charleston, SC.

I can leave as early as 4/19 or as late as 4/22/11 and I expect the trip will take 5 to 8 days. Offshore opportunity.

The Boat- Well constructed Crowther 47' (Alwoplast) 24' beam performance cruising Blue Water Catamaran. Private Quarters. Pretty nice gig.

The Deal- you fly and I buy.
That means you pay all transport costs to get to the boat (Marathon, FL) and to get yourself home from Charleston, SC. Hotel costs if any are yours.

I pay all food, fuel, and all boat expenses. Usually that includes one or two dinners ashore on me. Alcohol limited but included.

Who can't come? Newbies, couples, druggies, alkies, hot dogs, hound dogs, mean or grouchy people, and nut jobs. Preference will be given to certified swimsuit or lingerie models (Yeah right!)

About me. I am a 58 year old happily married straight non smoking male who is an experienced but still learning sailor. A midwesterner by birth, I am enjoying actively experiencing the oceanic cruising lifestyle with my very nice boat which is in very solid condition.

Trip Style. I love to sail but I prefer to get there more than to drift along waiting for a breeze. Motor comes on at about 5 kts. The good news is I pay for the fuel! This is a direct trip with maybe only one stop (St. Augustine) (or none)....

Obviously more info will be required both ways before either of us make commitments.

email me direct at jasonm@renosys.com
