The crew, though said to be experienced; had never sailed in a boat as large as mine (60ft) and were not experienced off-shore sailors. They were bodies to do watches but I would not have let them take my boat on the passage without me aboard so be careful with crew selection.
Excuse my delay in responding; bad internet for a few days. Thanks for the expection of pay. It will give me some kind of idea what to budget. And, thanks for the crew selection warning. I will definately use a fine tooth comb to check backgrounds.
