Like Bubb I've also strong opinions on paying, or cost sharing crew vs paid crew.

Personally I'm not willing to pay someone to finance their cruising. I get just as tired, wet, and cold as anyone else aboard. Those efforts should be compensated.

IMHO, if you want a "seasoned" crewmember be willing to pay their airfare to/from the boat and provisions. As for renumberation, I've delivered boats for several hundred a day and others for beer money on the other end.
