how long do you plan forthe trip to last? are you going on the intra costal? do you thing only 2 on the boat is sufficient? i'm an experienced sailor and would be interested in learning more about who will skipper the boat.

Hi. I've decided to do the trip myself with crew. I will be leaving 9/9 or shortly thereafter from southern New England (Newport/Block Island vicinity). I have done this trip twice before, using the ICW between Norfolk and Cape Fear or Fernandina Beach, depending on the weather. I think I am all set for crew, but I may be looking for someone for the first part of the trip, outside from NYC to Cape May, up Delaware Bay, across the C & D canal and midway down the Chesapeake. I think two people is sufficient. I will stop at Barnegat or Atlantic City if necessary - I don't want to do the trip off the Jersey Shore in bad weather or waves over 4 ft. Let me know if you're still interested and we can discuss further.
