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.

^LMAO! :)

I'm trying to figure if its a money issue, or a boat seaworthy issue...

it sounds like you contacted a reputable captain, that either was too expensive, or took a look at the boat, and refused for some reason...

if the boat is seaworthy, and its just you're broke or cheap, I don't have a problem with you trying to find some help.

-hey, sailors are cheap! (at least I am!)

if you can clarify the seaworthiness of the boat, you might get a taker.... perhaps, college kids on break in a few weeks..

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.

more info:
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.
