Hi:

Lets see, in your original post you took off for the main land and got
got scared or the boat bounced around too much for your likeing.

Now you wan to hire a "crew" for what reason:
1) simply as an extra hand and movable ballast?
2)Or for guidance and experienced advice?

Unless the guy is simply a grunt who does exacty what told and nothing
else you'll find yourself in a very difficult situation......... a boat
with two captains.

Take the last poster's advice, "Crew issues on long passages are very
common, I'd be cautious..." and I would add, determine who is incharge
exactly. If you did not have the ability to get your boat to CA before,
step back, get a pro, and be a passaanger.
