Crew Wanted: Looking for a captain to sail from long island to new jersey

[Midtownsails]

I'm the new owner of a 26 foot pearson that is currently in northport long island. I want to bring it to highlands area of new jersey but I dont have the confidence to do it alone. Looking for someone with sailing experience, especially going through the sound into the east river which I hear is not the easiest trek. I'll pay for captain services. It's a 1972 pearson so my budget isn't at the super yacht level so a modest days pay and a nice day cruising is probably the realistic expectation. It would be appreciated and helpful if you can please provide some experience information and maybe a reference or two along with compensation expectations in your response. Thank you.

The time I'm looking to do this is within the next 5 to 10 days

This is Aug 25, and late according to your message, is this done or still pending? Sounds like an easy run, but I am completely empathetic to being a new skipper looking for some assistence, as I was myself a few decades ago. I had sailed long Island Sound on my Endeavor 36 then, and enjoyed the harbors such as Northport. Let me know if this is still active, or completed, as I have, all of a sudden an open schedule next week and would get myself to LGA (is it still called that?) and out to Northport. That would be a Deja Vu.
Cheers.
