Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 288 Sailing from Puerto Rico To Florida 2025

Crew Call Sail from the Bahamas to Georgia

I’m excited to invite you to apply for a crew position aboard my sailboat for a sailing trip from Marsh Harbor, Bahamas, to St. Augustine, Florida, and onward to St. Mary’s, Georgia. The trip will run from February 16th to March 1st, with the boat being hauled out at the end of the journey this may be my final adventure aboard See Dream, as I will be putting See Dream up for sale at the end of the trip after launching her in 1992, 33 years of wonderful memories.

Below, I’ll include the trip schedule and the route. This will be a working trip with a good mix of sailing, teamwork, and relaxation along the way.

Trip Overview

Departing Marsh Harbor on February 16th: We’ll set sail through the Bahamas and into the Atlantic, keeping an eye on the weather and making adjustments as needed.

Arriving in St. Augustine: After crossing the Gulf Stream, we’ll have some time to explore the city before continuing north.

Finishing in St. Mary’s, Georgia: The boat will be put on the hard here, and we’ll wrap up the trip by March 1st.

What to Expect

Teamwork on Board: This trip involves hands-on sailing. Everyone will take turns steering, managing sails, and standing watch. Experience is welcome, but enthusiasm and a willingness to help are more important.

Life Onboard: Space will be limited, so pack light and be ready for the rhythms of life at sea. We’ll share duties like cooking and cleaning.

Weather: We’ll be sailing in various conditions, from warm days to cool nights, so bring layers and waterproof gear.

What to Bring

Light layers and rain gear

Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat

Any personal items you need for comfort

Do not bring hard luggage only duffel like collapsible bags not any roller bags!

This will be a fun, practical sailing trip with some great stops along the way. If you’re interested or have any questions, let me know. I look forward to having a solid crew to make this a smooth and enjoyable journey.

Let me know ASAP by email (email address is in the podcast) if you are interested there is only room to 2 crew members for the two separate crews the a total of 3 onboard
