Crew Wanted: Checklist For Voluntary Crew

[davil]

For volunteer crew looking for a boat

This forum is an excellent source of information for those looking into a particular add requesting a crew.

When I want a crew (most times prefer a female crew), I direct the interested person to my postings record.

I think we have a history and record on areas of interest, how we think, even political positions after the lengthy Covid ordeal.

For female crew, I direct them to the threads listed below to provide a baseline of what should be important as a female crew, also have a list of questions been asked to me from prospective candidates on what they thought important to them and will attach them to their inquires.

I have been very satisfied with my crew choices and developed nice, long-lasting relationships continuing over time.

For Professional crew.

Again, this forum has members providing those services and checking their postings gives me a clear picture of who may or not be a good fit.

You know I should not laugh at this, but I am. Sadly all the questions are really good questions and ones that a lot of people do not think of. Saddly I do know people that go off shore without a life raft or flares.

Great post, I really like the way your experience shows with the rational decisive way you list your way to observe, and not be bias. Sounds like I could only be fortunate enough to ever crew a vessel with that type of calm. well said mate.

I am looking for a licensed delivery captain in/near St. Augustine to help move a boat on April 15th and again late April or early May. Please PM me to discuss details. Thx.
