Crew & Captain Matchmaking

There are sailors out there without boats and there are boats without crew, and it is a common thing to use crewseekers and similar websites and forums to bring the two together. But, it can be a risky thing to set sail across an ocean with a person or a boat that you don't know, so in this episode, we'll help you with some tips on how to stay safe, and how to set yourself up for the best experience possible. We're also sharing a few horror stories along the way! This podcast is brought to you by The Quarterdeck , our online sailing community!
