Experienced crew to help me cross to bahamas

I brought the boat (island packet 29) from NC to FL. My crew had to leave so o m solo now. I m in lake worth waiting for a good weather window. But would like to get help in crossing the gulf to bahamas.
We can discuss compensation. But local folks only please.
Thanks

Re: Experienced crew to help me cross to bahamas

I know you have heard a bunch of horror stories about crossing the Gulf Stream but the truth is if the winds are from the south it is a very pleasant sail.
If the wind has any northern component to it DON'T go. If the wind was out of the north and blowing 15 or more yesterday but today is good, DON'T go, it takes a day to settle down.

The bottom line, choose your weather window carefully.

Re: Experienced crew to help me cross to bahamas

Long as you pick the weather window the crossing is easy. If you check around there in Lake Worth I bet you find other boats you could buddy boat with instead of finding an unknown person to crew.
