Only two thing that I would add are: If you possibly can, get
yourself some time crewing blue and perhaps green:-) water.
Delivery captains are often looking for crew and, even if you do it
for free, the price is right. If any want to charge - yes, they're
out there, I would suggest that you stay away from them; they're
probably also charging the owner for you. The second is Arjanne, I
wish were right about about he dollar/euro exchange. It theis
opposite; great for you guys, not so great for americans.
