Gee , thats a hell of a resume you have there! You say that you want to get
paid too?

Only experienced delivery crews expect to get paid. There are some old
salts, like Don Street, who expect you to pay them for the experience and
knowledge that you will benefit from.

Seriously, an inexperienced crew member can be a liability, even when he
finally gets over his seasickness.

I had a novice crew who couldn't/wouldn't clean up his own barf.

That is why us old guys who don't get sea sick and have seen everything
break are so valuable. I get lots of rides but I never have figured out how
to get paid.

Jim Donohue - yeah I know...get a proper ticket and then maybe...nahhh I
can make enough money real estate and that way you don't actually have to
think for a living. .

I expect you're talking cruise ships, rather than cruising sailboats.

Check the various cruise lines, particularly right about now as they
move the fleets from the Med to the Caribbean.

Cruise ships don't pay much and you don't get much time off in ports.

YACHTS I meant YACHTS...why the heck did I type cruises?
I want to find work as crew on yachts, hopefully from Europe to the
Caribbean or another warm place. Where in Spain and France should I
try? Thanks.
