If you're nervous about bareboating, why not get a captain for the first two days and then, after getting used to the boat, bareboat for the rest of the week. While this is more expensive than crewing for a month, you're probably going to learn more bareboating than you are crewing. It is also something you can guarantee will happen when you want it to, rather than being at the mercies of the weather and the boat owner.

Trips you crew on don't always happen when they're supposed to for all sorts of reasons.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
