I'm hankering to get some ocean sailing experience sometime soon!

My partner Michele is somewhat reluctant but said she'd like to join me if I can find anyone at the jersey shore that would want crew on a larger boat. My experience is single handing my Oday 30 on the River and on the Chesapeake. I'm OK in up to 6ft seas (so far)

But I need the experience if I'm ever going to sail up the coast to NY or even Maine someday.
To bring my boat down the Delaware and to Cape May in the spring is pretty far off and it takes a day or 2 to get there when by car, it's only a couple of hrs! I'd like to try some fall sailing too. But, we can wait til spring!
thanks!
