Maine to Florida, Florida to Bahamas

Hi, I'm looking for a crew member to help sail my '34 sailboat from the mid-Maine coat down to Florida in early November, and then on to the Bahamas in December. I could accommodate two people if necessary.
Sailing experience is not required but obviously desirable. Your responsibilities include:

1. Piloting the boat for 2+ hour shifts day or night - Exact schedule TBD based on weather, experience, etc., but the standard will be 2 hrs and we'll only be stopping if absolutely necessary except at least one night anchored.

2. General cleaning inside and out
3. Help me with maintenance, repairs, and upgrades

4. Share cooking duties (I'm also a chef)

5. Being SAFE as the first mate and getting us and the boat safely to our destination!

You pay your way to Maine and I'll cover onboard expenses (i.e. food) and your (cheap) plane ticket home. If it's a pair of people, I'll still cover food, but just the one flight home.
I have life jackets but they're inexpensive, simple ones without the ability to use a safety harness. If you're doing a solo shift while I'm sleeping or otherwise occupied below deck, my life jacket and harness are yours to use. I would recommend buying yourself an auto inflatable life jacket with harness clips/rings and a two point harness if you're trying to get experience to go on larger vessels because you'll certainly want such a life jacket in that case, and probably a harness.

About me: 47yo disabled guy, super easy going, tons of sailing, powerboat, and whitewater experience on all types and sizes of craft on oceans, lakes and rivers. I enjoy teaching people and can tailor the trip to any experience level.

Please reply here (or message me) the following information:

First name, age, experience on watercraft, why you want to do this trip, and biggest worry about such a trip.

Thanks! Scott S/V Sisu
