Have you tried other list to see if anyone needs crew? I belong to the Island Packet list and there are several times a year people are need crew. I will include the email link in case you are interested. ipmail_ipsailor.com mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://host291.hostmonster.com/mailman/listinfo/ipmail_ipsailor.com Another suggestion is to google / ask.com for crew needed to Andros. I am sure there are LOTS of websites out there that advertise/request crew members to various locations. Last year we went to the Bahamas, we left from Marathon and it took us about 24 hours to get there. We were very lucky to have gotten a weather window from Punta Gorda, FL straight through to Bimini. Total trip time from PG was approximately 48 hours. This was my first time over and it was GREAT! However, coming back was another story. It took us 45 hours in the gulf stream from Cay Sol. Needless to say our weather window shut early on us and it wasn't pretty coming back. We had 12 foots seas crashing over the top of the boat and high winds up to 40 knots and the stream was flowing against us. Everything inside the boat was soaked from water coming in thru the dorades and anchor lockers. Then we had to deal with large freighters, and cruise ships. And to top it all off, we blew out our mainsail. -Anita (Not quite full-time cruisers, but working on it!)

My band got asked to play a new years eve gig there and there isn’t enough transportation and rooms available for everyone to go. I could sail over and just stay on the boat but I have never done any ocean sailing and if something happens then I don’t make the gig and that wouldn't’ be good. I was thinking of doing the discovery cruise over and back since that is $99 a person each way and seems cheaper than airfare. I think I could also get away with bringing more gear that way. I would then have to get from Grand Bahamas over to Andros and find a cheap place to stay either on Andros or Grand Bahamas. Any other suggestions? Anyone planning to sail over that way around that time that would want to take 2 people or sail over at the same time as me so I have a flotilla going?
