Portsmouth, VA -> St. Augustine, FL

I'm looking for two crew with previous offshore experience to help me sail my yacht from Portsmouth, VA to St. Augustine, FL. I hope to leave as soon as possible after Nov. 14, and I anticipate that, weather permitting, the passage will take 4-7 days. This will be an outside passage (unless we need to duck in to avoid really foul weather), so it will be a good ocean mile builder if that's what you're looking for. There will be a total of 3 of us aboard, and we'll stand 3-hour solo watches around the clock. Crew pay travel expenses to and from my boat, and I pay all expenses aboard (excluding alcohol). Strictly no smoking; Covid vaccination/booster required.
Please contact me with any questions, and thank you for your interest!

  • Boat descriptionAllora is a well-appointed yacht, with all that is needed for a safe, comfortable offshore sail. Communications include VHF (including handhelds), SSB, AIS transponder, and an Inreachtracker. (I subscribe to Chris Parker for weather, so we can get personalized forecasts while under way.) She has a chart plotter, radar, and depth, speed, and wind instruments, as well as backup paper charts, an autopilot, an electric winch in addition to the manual ones, solar panels, and wind turbine. Safety equipment includes a life raft, several tossable devices, and an epirb. The stove and burners are propane, and the galley has a freezer along with refrigeration. There have been a number of upgrades since she was built in 2000.
