Crew wanted for FL. to Chesapeake Bay

TomCat27 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-29-2010

Looking for crew from Gulf Coast Florida to Annapolis area. Anticipated departure between April 20 and May 1. Boat is a 2007 TomCat 9.7 (32') sailing catamaran - photo attached. One crew for mostly ICW or two crew with appropriate experience for run up the coast, weather permitting. I'm 49 year old married male, non smoker, no drugs. You'd have private small aft cabin. Shared head. Previous sailing experience preferred. No smoking, no drugs. All or part of the trip.

Thanks,

Mike

If you still need help moving the boat, I may be interested. I did sailboat deliveries in the 90's and early 2000's as a captain and have a lot of open water experience. If you are interested, PM me and give me the scoop. I'm located in the Tampa Bay FL, area

now i smoke, but would use this as a QUIT SMOKING OR SWIM home trip. as i want to quit it would work well

i have my own pfd, spot and other gear. i could also meet half way or where ever if needed.

Will you be covering food for crew? Will you be re-imbursing travel expenses?

TomCat27 · #6 (**permalink**) 03-30-2010

Yes, I'd be covering f&b for crew as well as travel expenses. I've been responding individually to all interested so far, trying to make the pieces of the puzzle fit. Thanks all. I can be contacted directly at mikerodney at mac dot com.

Thanks all.

Thanks for the interest Scotty. How much of the trip would you be up for? We just moved up here from Florida so I could take your mind off smoking by picking your brain for info. on the Chesapeake...Contact me directly if you like.
