Thanks to tsmwebb. This seems to give us a good starting point for
negotiations on pay. I won't even waste my energy on Bob's comments.



Interesting:

When you get right down to what I said, I think you'll find little
diffrence in our advice except that tsmwebb lacked my abrasive word
choice. Yes, tsmwebb is correct.

I would like to add, at $1-2/ mile your delivery skipper will most
likly hold a 200 or 500 ton master/1600 ton mate license with a very
lengthy contract for you to sign.

HON to SFX at least 2,600 miles x $2/mile = $5,200 plus another grand
or more for expences. A pro wont put to sea unless the boat is capable
of getting her back to port. So be prepared for some gear and fix
bills.

$6,200 + to get a $17K boat to CA.

Rawsons are good boats.......... cockpits are big enough to hold a VW
Bug, but..............

Sell it or sail it yourself.

Hope I did not offend you again,
Bob
