How much should I pay for a crew watchstander?
I am planning on leaving the Chesapeake for Bermuda then straight down to the BVI, late this fall. And I wanted to get a seasoned crew member to help me sail a 36' Cal down south. I was looking at a website called "Find a Crew" to get an idea of what kind of sailors are out there. The one item I desire, is that they be a true sailor and would prefer not to find someone who just wants a lift to the Virgin Islands. How much does someone in that position get paid? Of course I would pay for their flight in and the return portion, but what about paying them for their time on board?
Thanks for the input.
