Hi

Not quite the same but I've just crewed a boat across the Atlantic for a
couple who are going around the world - I did Gibraltar - Lanzarotte - Cape
Verdes - Barbados, I'm flying back to the UK next week and I've been away
since 4th December - a great way to avoid the UK winter. I've been
responsible for all travel expenses, but all food and drink (including beer
and wine) aboard the boat were supplied by the owners. If we ate out I paid
my own way. I think the important thing is to get the ground rules sorted
first and if you're happy with them my advice is to go for it

All the best

Ken

An aquantance asked my wife and I if we're interested in being part of a
boat delivery crew. He mentioned two specific trips, each are around 2
weeks long and at interesting places. I was in a hurry and told him I
looked forward to chatting more about it.

I'd like to get a heads up on how this stuff works before I chat with him
again. Can anyone give me a run-down on these things? Obviously he is
getting a salary and his travel expenses paid. What should I expect from
an
invitation to crew? Should I expect my travel expenses to be paid? We
don't have a great deal of experience but he can see we are capable and
that
we true students of the sport of sailing.
