The Untold Truth of Sailboat Crew *(Don't let THESE people on your boat!)*
January 16, 2023 by Adventureman Dan | Language: EN Play Time: 00:14:44 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Having others join your sailboat as crew to help share in the experiences and work of sailing & cruising can be wonderful. But like anything in life, it can also be a nightmare if you invite the wrong person.
I’ve had a few bad crew over the past four years. And usually it wasn’t a big deal. But after one particularly horrible experience this past year. I knew I had to say something. For myself and other sailboat captains out there.
There is much more I’d like to say on this topic. But I wanted to keep this video as short as possible. If this is something you’d like to hear more about. Let me know and I’ll start work on a part 2.
