Captain or competent crew wanted for Cape Cod, MA to Norfolk, VA, late Sept early Oct

I'm a semi/soon to be retired guy, looking for someone to help me take my recently purchased Pearson 365 ketch south from Cape Cod, MA in late September/early October, and help me build miles sailing her. The tentative destination is Norfolk,VA. I have dated racing crew experience, but no real crusing experience. The vessel is well equiped with GPS/Chartplotter and VHF radio. It has radar also, but functionality is unknown. I will pay for reasonable transit to/from vessel, and expenses onboard.

Could be interested in late October. 12 assists such as this since 2012, including 2 to Norfolk from RI in past year. For complete resume or to start a dialogue email me at skipper@basianmille.net

Can't help. but I just did the trip from Marion to Annapolis. Couple thoughts:
Its cold at night!
Days are getting shorter.
We did Marion to Block, Block to the CD Canal and Canal to Annapolis.
We waited for a weather window with northerly winds before leaving Block. Winds died during the overnight and we motored the rest of the way.
Recommend you have AIS even though a lot of commercial fishermen turn it off. EPIRB too.
Going LIS/East River adds about 40 miles, but it is very cool sailing down the East River!

Hello Captain,

I am interested in this trip by depends on when. I am a licensed OUPV Captain and have done a couple of open water cruises and races. Have experience working shifts for days. I am in the Houston area. Do you have a better idea on when you would plan on departing and your estimate of time of the trip? Best Regards,

Bill
