Ep 54 Finding Crew

Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast. In this episode, Mike and I discuss finding crew for your boat or finding a boat to crew on. This was inspired by an email we received from Chris Curtis who lives on the West Coast and is a listener of the podcast. He asked the question, “I like going out for 3-4 day sails, but I do not want to sail by myself. How can I find crew?” Mike and I go through the various ways of finding crew, the things to look for, and what questions to ask. I also discuss how I got a crew position on a sail from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Baltimore, Maryland. We love to hear from our listeners, send us your questions, comments, and suggestions at sailingtheeast@gmail.com. If you know someone that would be an interesting guest on the show, please reach out to us and let us know. Wishing you fair winds, and calm seas. Bela and Mike
