Mike,
I just got off the phone with the qualified boat captain that you hired. If you can't take his advice, and fulfill your contract with him. I don't want anything to do with you. Just another fine example of a "boat owner", and not a sailor, nor a man of your word. Jacksonville to Miami, hug the coast, avoid NASA's restricted zone......good luck.

You're asking for someone to help you move your boat and you aren't even going to pay for the provisions, or cover the boats costs. I find that very inappropriate. I was always taught the Captain was responsible for his crew.
Two night trip offshore, or you can pop in at Ft Pierce after the first night, and then make the last leg after a good nights sleep. Down the ICW, you're talking a week. I've done the overnight hops 4 times by myself.

i was about to help this guy, when the captain that he had hired, then put ashore minus money owed, called me and told me the problem. this boat owner is smart, knows everything. except how to outfit, navigate, take instruction, and sail. not knowing how to sail is not a big issue, but being a cheat....and a know it all that you cant reach, that is a danger that the sea will soon swallow. count me out. bad karma.
Some time ago you were selling an asymmetrical spinnaker for a Hunter 380. If the sail is still available, I would be interested in buying it from you.
