Experienced sailor retired from the rat race available for sailboat deliveries
to/from Florida as skipper or crew. USCG licensed Captain with 20 years of
experience cruising the U.S. East Coast plus the Bahamas, Cuba and Mexico.
Ran liveaboard sailing charters out of Key West for a few years and did
deliveries on the side. Very reasonable rates as skipper. Will only charge for
underway days plus all expenses. No charge for layover days. Will consider
being unpaid crew as long as all expenses are covered.

Ouch, stepped on a toe there didn't you?
I agree though, be specific.
I am licensed as well, but not a USCG Captain, or a US Navy Captain, just a 100 ton captain, with a small c
